JFK has hundreds of flights per day. Possibly 1,000+ [includes takeoffs + landings and I am sure there are stats somewhere] and I have a feeling that JFK has more flights in a month than Dar+ JKIA has in a year. There was a great article about the over-worked Air Traffic Controllers at JFK. Back to KQ... Let's hope for no more mishaps. They need every plane in the air!

Am a pilot(not KQ) and i really pity the kind of views expressed in this page by people who know nothing about Aviation.Runway excursions on ILS approach to a CAT 2 airport in poor visibility, heavy rains are a common everyday occurence and a rarely due to pilot error. Whatever happened leave it to the professionals a report will be made. KQ pilots are as good as the world best. They are flying the Boeing 777-200, 777-300, the dreamliner. Incidents happen everyday worldwide How many crash landings has BA had in the last 1 year alone at Heathrow only? Does that make their pilots bad? no they are one of the best. FYI the KQ 777 video a guy has displayed here on approach to Amsterdam in heavy crosswinds is a display of superhuman skills and the pilot ability to correct the angle and is used worlwide for training.

The time the controllers sleep is mainly the night shift because of lesser traffic and the relatively long hours per shift that they do. Automation is not a reason. They actually give a lot of information to the aircraft's captain

12.45 heading south where is @obiero

Best African Airline 2014 - Yours truly will that = to money? Time will tell.

hata mimi nashangaa lakini sifi moyo.. money is around the corner :)

@Obiero "mucene" had it PORK was to increase his stake significantly. @Rich same to u. Now has he or is he still or is he running away. I think big players know what we don't know and are cause of this " descending " either entering at low levels or........

The way I have witnessed several counters skyrocket,I now agree that stocks need a very bold person who doesn't shake even when there seems to be a dead end,one who doesn't sell just because of a 2 shillings gain,a day to celebrate definately comes if you are sure the stock is fundamentally sound.obiero stay put with the national carrier,it can only go under where we have no gvt.I will buy next week some in bits to join you.

The last few months he has been strictly chartering a KQ plane and those VVIP flights make lots of money for KQ...the dar plane is out for atleast 3 months.

@maka, has PORK been chartering or has he been using regular flights? What has he been chartering - Embraer? Why would he charter and there is the Fokker? He did Europe on regular flights, I know because he flew together with my fare paying friend Benjamin Ochieng (God is not dead).
