With Mikosz KQ will grow soon as well. I am hopeful that an order for more B787 & B737 MAX is on the cards.

@maka - where are you? Any news from KQ on the next route? What happened to delays - How did Mikosz dealt with them? There are no news of delays nowadays.

There was little news of anything but moi's day back in the day! Laughing out loudly
I have to admit I haven't flown KQ (ex-JJ) in ages [cost/price vs competition]...
Any improvements?
Load factors?
Definitely, there is less news about grumbling by employees even if they want to grumble. Mikosz' dismissal of the engineers seems to have worked.


Mikosz (The boxer) is busy sampling food at NAS very sad...

Delays... ziko but dealt with appropriately Duty Managers have been empowered to make decisions kitambo it was a bit different because no one wanted to goof...Show cause pap...

@maka please tell us more about the NAS food sampling


The food offered by NAS need to improve before the launch of NYC flight. Reviews on KQ catering is appalling and this is why Mikosz is very keen to lift the standard. These are things which could have never been dealt with by Ngunze. Catering is a very important component of the product offered an Airline.

Mikosz mentioned this during the launch of the Newyork route. Very happy he is personally handling it to make sure the KQ product returns to where it was.


Read what @VVS has posted just before you... trust me at this time and age there are more important things to focus on... One of them is ET upstaging KQ day in day out... Addis...Accra...Houston...🤔


Mikosz is right on the catering. Bad food drives people away especially in a long haul flight. People love food. Once catering is sorted then KQ will be able to attract more passengers. Destinations will be added with time.

There is a 5 year strategy that Mikosz submitted to the board. It is very ambitious. He has been there for a very short time.

I can see he has even moved faster by launching NYC, Mauritious and probably Beijing is coming next.

Nothing much to do with ET. They are already ahead of the game given their cost base is lower.

You misread it. @Ericsson said EMIRATES full year profits surges 124% as revenue and capacity climb...

@ArrestedDev any clue where this report could be found?

5 years old for an E-jet is still young! Just some good maintenance and refurbishing

KQ has been sending back the leased ones at only 8 years old. Many other airlines also lease them especially the narrow body for 8 years. The narrow body are used to run many frequencies and accumulate many flight hours within a short period and hence higher fuel and mantainance costs.

Expect an order soon to be announced.

Will they still order E-jets or the Bombardier Q400 given the success Jambo Jet has been having with them? Or perhaps 737's?
