“The Dreamliner aircraft that KQ bought are not fully utilised except on New York route. It does not make sense to have such huge equipment and have them only ply connecting hubs like Amsterdam or Heathrow then come back to Nairobi,” says an expert who sought anonymity because he is consulting for the airline.
Surely this statement isn't true. Who are these experts BD keeps calling for a comment? AMS & LHR are KQ's best performing 787 routes and isn't JFK loss making at the moment? Asshole experts with zero knowledge of what they are talking about. Nincompoops. That's why they go unnamed... Hehe. Hio nayo ni ukweli. Like AMS & LHR are a short distance? Even a Beijing frequency coming up with the returned Oman Air 787! Remember your promise for 10th bro. I owe you an aged one.. 12 years minimum I thought the last to be returned from Oman Air this month will head to Rome & Geneva? I believe the person being quoted by the BD reporter meant the utilization rate. It is low for KQ due to lack of cockpit crew and long haul routes. Hope the new CEO will continue the network expansion. A well-run airline should have its (as full as possible) planes in the air as much as possible. How long are the planes that fly NBO-LHR/AMS/CDG in the air over a 24-hour period? How long does a KQ plane remain on the ground at LHR and AMS and CDG before it is on its way back to NBO? How long does a KQ plane remain on the ground in NBO before it is on its way back to LHR/AMS/CDG? About 2 Hrs in LHR/AMS/CDG. KQ generally utilizes their aircraft pretty well, quick turn around times. In NBO it depends because they have about 5 dreamliners landing each morning from BKK, LHR, AMS, DXB & JFK. These will then be used for the outbound to JHB, LHR, AMS, Mumbai sometimes and the afternoon flight to JHB & DXB. Max turnaround time is maybe 4 hours from my estimation.

How long does a KQ plane remain on the ground in NBO before it is on its way back to LHR/AMS/CDG? Average is almost 4hrs on ground in Nairobi and almost 3 hrs in Europe-and this is from actual landing and actual takeoff times. If you subtract taxi times it would be less. Average daily utilization rate on good months is around 15hrs (Disclaimer: This is from an analysis of publicly available data-not internal sources) That's good given it's about 7-8 hours each away so the plane is used 24/7 (/embarking/disembarking/loading/unloading/cleaning during the breaks on the ground) With the Bombardier being used regionally, I have witnessed a turnaround on ground time of about 1hour only Its actually 50 mins and that's standard for such routes...

27. BORROWINGS – GROUP AND COMPANY (Continued) (b) Analysis of interest bearing loans and borrowings: (Continued) The local bank facilities, amounting to USD 100 million were obtained from the consortium of Kenyan banks after the restructuring in November 2017. They were drawn from Equity Bank Limited, KCB Bank Kenya Limited, Commercial Bank of Africa Limited, I&M Bank Limited, National Bank of Kenya Limited, Cooperative Bank of Kenya, Diamond Trust Bank (Kenya) Limited, NIC Bank Limited and Ecobank Limited for financing of working capital requirements. As at 31 December 2018, the Group and Company had only utilized facilities amounting to USD 42 million (2017: USD 42 million). Jamii Bora Bank Limited opted to retain their outstanding loan to Kenya Airways Plc after the restructuring in 2017. This loan was acquired by NIC Bank Limited in January 2018. The loan repayment term is a tenure of five years. Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett
