Am really annoyed... This is one of the things Ngunze worked on for the employees.

Instead of working for profits for shareholders...


Hahaha. Analysis must have been done and KQ might be loosing revenue especially when there is currently no capacity at all. Every full revenue seat counts if KQ is to return to profitability.


This guy knows exactly what is required to manage & generate revenue.


Nope actually it made KQ around 100m last year am sure you know how the system works you can only get a seat if the flight has space... and all if not most are ID75 which means you pay 25% of the fare... No full fare paying passenger has ever been bumped for someone with a buddy pass.


There must be misuse noted somewhere. This guy is a real manager.

As Obiero also says, some KQ bad apples might be selling them to travel agents hence loss of revenue.

In conclusion, it is prone to misuse and better done away with. Staff have ID90.




Nope no misuse anywhere that I am 100% sure plus its only 4 tickets...

Ufa hazamisha merikebu. [A leak sinks even a big ship] ... Applies 100% to KQ.

What's this ID75 and ID90?
How do they work?
Is the discount off the FULL fare?
What about taxes?


ID90 is applicable for KQ staff... they get to pay 10% of the full fare plus taxes...
KQ employees appoint 4 buddies who can travel on ID75...pay 25% of the full fare plus taxes.

You can only book a flight through the Ipride portal... so there is no way once the buddy has been nominated can sell the buddy pass... Its impossible.

You ONLY get a seat if there is availability... You are usually on stand by all through...

But @maka isn't it possible to nominate a stranger at the discounted rate then pocket the excess gain.. Maybe im not getting the full picture but I did read that there was massive malpractice via agents

I wish there was a "new KQ" without the burden/liabilities/staff of the "Old KQ" coz I might actually have invested in it!

Applause Applause Applause to Mikosz. He should sack all those who think it's business as was at KQ. I am not a shareholder and unlikely to be one until the price drops significantly to what I consider "Fair Value" [3/- currently]... BUT I do own 1/44,000,000,000 of 30% of KQ [and another teeny % via KQLC/banks] PLUS I do not want to subsidize KQ via taxation/GoK debt.

Therefore, I want KQ (as a business) to succeed. Spectacularly.

I still prefer planes to be maintained by KQ staff.Outsourcing to Etihad is not the best option.

These are jobs being shipped to Indians & Filipinos working for Etihad.

The Court of Appeal is likely to differ with KQ.

We need to develop aviation engineering capabilities at home.

That's BS on their part for a simple reason. The staff at KQ want none of the pain and all of the gain. If the "aviation engineering" guys are good then why don't they form a company and offer those services at a rate that matches Etihad.

A living KQ is better for Kenya than a dead KQ.

Even if they are reinstated, they should be given jobs like washing the floors so they do not interfere with the planes. I do not trust them. A disgruntled worker is better off fired than allowed to touch a plane.

Kenya Airways has launched four weekly flights to Mauritius saying this is part of its broad strategy to expand its footprint across Africa.

Mikosz and Joseph slowly undoing the damage their predecessors caused...
Good move! Together with Air Mauritius, KQ can fly West/Central/East African pax to Australia and SE Asia. They can use KQ/AM instead of ET/EK/QR.

Still not investable at 15/- but as a "Taxpayer" shareholder I want a profitable KQ.

What's the fare in Economy?
[BTW, @obiero do you still get free upgrades or Mikosz put a stop to that?]
