@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!  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.

@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

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?

The Embraer has been a good work horse within Africa but it cannot efficiently effect long hauls hence some new 787 will be part of the mix especially for USA

Can't they get the 8-yr olds at very cheap lease/purchase rates to offset the higher fuel usage and maintenance costs? Delta had bought some old aircraft (can't remember the model) at a very low price which they refurbished. They used the heck out of them. They were cheap so grounding them when biz was slow wasn't a huge drag. They also cannibalized some for spares to keep the rest running. https://onemileatatime.b...11/10/old-delta-planes/

"...the airline looks at the entire cost of jet – the purchase price, the maintenance costs, fuel efficiency and other factors – before making decisions. Often, used aircraft make the most economic sense for the airline." These articles are dated. With the new efficient jets coming into service - B737 max, Bombadier C series, E2, A320neo, A321LRneo, B787 & A350 there is no need to refurbish old jets anymore. All the three biggest carriers in the USA have placed orders for these new jets. American Airlines is already receiving deliveries for B737max. Delta placed an order in December 2017 with Airbus.

The more I hear about the possibility of these acquisitions the more I am like a deeper loss is in the horizon.
