Will it stand the pressure of competition from world class Asian carriers like Qatar airways? Chief you are looking at this thing upside down! Will Qatar jet the passengers from Kisumu to Mombasa for onward transit to Doha? Once the passengers get to Mombasa, are we assuming that they will stay in Mombasa only or will want to visit Antananarivo, Blantyre, Cotonou or Bangui? Ngunze's winning big in Africa dream is the silver bullet for KQ. Let the international airlines bring peope into Africa. Its good news!

Tourists from Europe, US and other continents which KQ, KLM and other Sky team partners could have flown to NBO then onwards to MBS by KQ are gone. Qatar Airways and the other One world alliance partners will now be the beneficiaries.

The Nairobi link is crucial and it's unlikely that their chosen route will carry stupendous numbers

The Nairobi link is crucial and it's unlikely that their chosen route will carry stupendous numbers Yes it will adversely affect the numbers for KQ especially NBO-MBS, AMS-NBO, Paris-NBO, LHR-NBO AND even FROM Asia. Uhuruto signed it off when the Emir was in NBO a few weeks ago. I miss Kibaki's advisors, although they were corrupt, still they knew what is strategic and not. I am not sure what we got from Qatar in exchange for this.

@ Arestedevelopment We got money for budgetary support and projects. Qatar has been wanting that route since 2007 but Kibaki always refused Wealth is built through a relatively simple equation
Wealth=Income + Investments - Lifestyle

You cannot compare the cost base of KQ to that of Qatar Airways.
