Airlines lose money and wise governments leave that risk to private operators unless that government is very rich and the taxpayers don't mind. Seconded.. Uganda shall fail in the attempt. Running an airline isn't a simple thing. If Nigeria doesn't have one.. they can manage if only they avoid hedging and corruption KQ looking like one of the few bargain counters at the NSE KQ stock is the most expensive not only at NSE but also globally!

Chinese airlines are in a hiring spree for foreign pilots and are willing to pay 50% more than what pilots are paid in USA. This is due to shortage of pilots in China. Chinese airlines require to hire like 100 pilots a week for the next 20 years. Wealth is built through a relatively simple equation Wealth=Income + Investments - Lifestyle

Cathay Says Premium Travel Slumping, Prompting DiscountsAirlines should avoid hedges which have proved to cost them money over the years. Unless their finance team is actively trading the markets it's a futile exercise. $15/barrel oil... The commodities lehman moment arrives as well as Sovereign debt volcano!

August is considered as a peak period, the ticket prices are high. He is not telling us when was the booking done. Hersi manages a hotel and how much does he charge during the peak season. Jambojet is there to make money. This kind of whining is uncalled for.
