Monopoly like business with huge gvt control aren't beneficial to both consumer and shareholder. Again lowering prices doesn't mean losses .......
Is he suggesting price controls or just allowing more players so that competition brings prices down?
Of course it's allowing more players ....competition.....better services.......affordable prices.....benefits

“Given that there is no regulatory body in
place to supervise and ensure fair opportunity
for competition by different airlines to ensure
checks on excesses of the airlines; and that a
number of airlines that applied for licences to
operate domestic flights are yet to get
approvals, this House resolves that the
government puts in place measures to fully
liberalise air fares…to make air travel
affordable as a result of fair competition,”
reads the Motion.
Mr Mwinyi reckons that Kenya Airways enjoys
monopoly in Kenya’s airspace, which it uses to
determine fares at will.
The MP argues that the monopoly enjoyed by
KQ has made it difficult for travellers to enjoy
reasonable prices."
