KQ has also been my favourite,though i divested when it was tumbling.

I have just been wondering how the budget airline industry may affect them? KQ is a leader in Africa due to its efficiency compared to other african airlines,but if budget airlines are to infiltrate their turf,what will happen?

Currently,most Kenyans from dubai are flying air arabia ( bgt airline),at a price (20-25K) close to half of KQ (40-45k) to Nairobi return. The airline is also looking to expand further and this may be a tough call.

BTW: Difference between the 2 is KQ has meals included in the ticket. But when booking with Air Arabia,you can buy food at say about 600/-. never travelled with them but I understand theyre comfortable.

My 2 cents....

Africa has seen many 'African' budget (& mainstream) airlines collapse... Air Arabia might be the first 'foreign' budget airline & is a threat to KQ on the NBO-UAE route. I wonder how Emirates (which also flies NBO-DBX) competes against Air Arabia?
***-*** BTW,remember KQ can fly a passenger from Ndola all the way to Hong Kong... which budget airlines (point-to-point) generally cannot do.

Quarter results are out this Fri morning. It would be interesting to see to what extent fuel price changes are officially impacting on this.
