East African Community members need to rethink their aviation sectors or thier dreams of connecting the world and national pride will remain unachievable.

EAC has a fleet size of 60 planes flying to 89 destinations (Kenya 40-53; Rwandaair 12-23; Tanzania 8-13) Uganda, Burundi, South Sudan do not have national carriers. EAC stats are dwarfed regionally by Ethiopian Airlines which has a fleet of 112 flying 125 passenger and 40 cargo destinations.

Compared to international Middle Eastern "competitors" flying regionally like Emirates (258 planes, 158 destinations) and Turkish (336 planes, 304 destinations) EAC carriers are really puny.

Debt ladden EAC carriers (where they exist) are playing in the village league under delusion that they are competing with international counterparts. Only collaborative effort will lead to meaningful impact in the sector. EAC member countries should dissolve their airlines and form an East African Airline (Call it Safari Airlines). Countries without their own airlines like Uganda and Burundi should invest in the new East African Airline.

A collaborative East African Airline will have monopoly in East & Central Africa, challenge the regional giants based on bigger capital base and economies of scale.


Egos. Everyone wants their own airline. TZ and UG have refused to learn from KQ. The smart ones are RW who roped in Qatar as the Sugar Daddy who is also financing the new airport.

Yes RwandaAir seems to have learnt after making losses year after year and having a high CEO turnover rate.

They sold their soul. National pride is a serious thing, ask the USA

*I will qualify and say no commercial airline since that's the thrust of this discussion.
The US airlines were forced into loss-making by the travel bans. Even SWA felt the pain.
To that extent - travel ban - I feel for KQ too but KQ's problems predate COVID. Losses since 2012.

Recall the reduction in pilots per flight to Asia, plus HOTAC cuts on the back of vastly improved OTP. The bird is in the air

They should just go ahead and nationalise KQ. That's the only option to keep KQ going. It will operate at a perpetual loss for years to come; only the state can do this at tax payers expense.

No, GoK should NOT nationalize KQ. Let it die and a "New KQ" can take over the old KQ minus the debts.

Refer to SAA and some of the America Airlines for the eventual end point!
