Truth though is KQ is under tremendous competition for asia, europe, west, south and central african routes. Only a diehard addict would deny this. these advisories impact is neither here nor there.. but I agree on the competition aspect though KQ is doin somethin by modernising its fleet hence gainin efficiency. Kenya is soo central to business/leisure in Africa that no travel advisories wld significantly stop people from comin here COOP, IMH, KEGN, KQ, MTNU

Kenya is soo central to business/leisure in Africa that no travel advisories wld significantly stop people from comin here Travel Advisories have an effect but not for seasoned travellers. Bottomline: They do affect tourism but not as bad as the 'noise' make it sound. For EAST AFRICAN business, Kenya [Nairobi] is central but for the rest of the African destinations, it doesn't matter. One can fly to Addis (ET) or Dubai (EK) and make 90% of the connections that KQ/Nairobi offers. And both Addis & Dubai have more connections than Nairobi as a hub. Leisure travel - The options are increasing vs Kenya including Tanzania, which has a larger circuit, Zambia, South Africa (better developed) and Botswana. South Africa is well covered by SAA. I wish KQ all the best but it has to expand carefully [new destinations should be tried out to see if they work] but the fleet expansion has to be done slowly coz it is all financed with debt.

Funny that the nay sayers were expecting a loss and are still expecting another loss. If KQ relied on tourism then they would be under like Air Tanzania. Their growing business is from the China route. More and more Africans are heading to shop in the east, thats why KQ is getting small planes to operate in Africa to feed the larger planes heading elsewhere in china and India. Most tourists fly their national carriers and KTB hasn't done a good job in selling Kenya as a product to the rest of Africa so forget about tourists and think business "There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear. The problem is you hope when you should fear & fear when you should hope: - Jesse Livermore

What does this mean? @horton KQ expands flights with KLM http://www.nation.co.ke/...-/12mpwr9z/-/index.html
I understanding sharing flights/sales with KLM to/from Nairobi-Paris-France but why would KLM give up direct sales/flights to Entebbe, etc? Does this mean KQ will fly NBO-EBB-AMS as opposed to EBB-NBO-AMS? Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett

Does this mean KQ will fly NBO-EBB-AMS as opposed to EBB-NBO-AMS? basically a code share....flights maybe operated by KLM but KQ gets a cut in it and vice versa. Slightly more exclusive than the partner airlines, in that KQ routes are also advertised as if operated by KLM and vice versa.......similar to the Code share we have with Etihad. only difference is that it casts a wider net i.e. BJM/JRO n KGL for KQ and LHR/CDG for KLM
