[quote=obiero]More good news http://www.businessdaily...350-10wun14z/index.html[/quote] This was long overdue. It is only after Magufuli leased in less than one year then these moribund managers of KQ and Jambojet woke up.

Sale of the idle planes is a great gift that has been delivered by Ngunze.. The chap just needed 1 more year to be celebrated as a turnaround genius, but fate could not allow.. We now await the replacement for Mr Hondius, the next KQ CEO HF 30,000 ABP 3.49; KQ 414,100 ABP 7.92; MTN 15,750 ABP 6.45

We now await the replacement for Mr Hondius, the next KQ CEO The current Jambojet CEO will not be the next KQ CEO. I beg to differ. The fleet rationalization was ill informed.The worst thing to summarize the entire exercise was to get rid of the 2 B787s. These jets could have even be retained and the older B737-700 phased out. After Ngunze's exit is when you see the blunders coming out one by one. Look at what Ciano did with the books and procurement in Uchumi, the jury is now out.

Excellent breakdown. The Embraer never rests and the 787 has also faired well. Tuwache emotional analysis please @arresteddev The ones with Jambo jet are B737-300 which are very old. I thought it is the 737-800 that goes to Accra as well as Freetown. Is it not only 2 B737-700s which are remaining and 8+ plus years? These 2 has a higher fuel burn rate and the 2 B787s should have been used to replace these. The B787-800 can handle medium to long haul and provide capacity that is much needed to grow revenue. The E190s are now KQ's workhorse but it has worked to the detriment of revenue growth. KQ has never reported a profit since these type were inducted in 2012. The perceived benefits has never been realised. It is leading to capacity constraints and lack of cargo belly. During the high season, it cannot handle the demand and leads to overbooking hence inconveniecing customers. The duty free trolleys cannot fit in the aisle leading to loss of revenue that could have otherwise accrued from the sale of duty free items.This was even acknowledged in the annual report. The biggest loss KQ has suffered from these capacity constraint aircraft type is from Cargo.The technical issues relating to these fleet type has also been spiralling.

The biggest loss KQ has suffered from these capacity constraint aircraft type is from Cargo.The technical issues relating to these fleet type has also been spiralling. I beg to differ. I also used to think the embraer was a bad purchase until you look at the numbers. KQ only makes money in routes within 2-3 hours of Nairobi. That is where the embraer flies. It has allowed for razor thin margins and lower break even cabin factors allowing for convenience and more options to the customer. i.e 5 flights a day to Dar, 5 to Entebbe, 3 to Addis, 8 -10 to mombasa...etc. This has been a significant factor that has enabled Kq to maintain market share and fend off regional competition. The fact that connecting passengers have flexiblity in timings. The cargo ofcourse is a pain to deal with but for the most part The embraer has been the saving grace for KQ.

Indeed. However, a negative right here on The Virtual Republic of Wazua: Most of the time when I visit this thread, at the top, on the left side and at the bottom, there are adverts about cheap flights from cheapOair, FareCompare, onetraveldotcom. Right now, I am looking at Nairoberry to Lamu for 260.58 Trump Money. Nothing from The Pride of Africa Group. What can we do to counter this?
