You should not only look at full flights in isolation. Check crude price, fleet type, destination frequency.. NBO-NYC for instance is a hit! Expect 10% jump in revenue

Air Tanzania has made progress in its plan to fly to London by securing three landing slots at the Gatwick airport. The airline intends to fly directly from their hub at Dar es Salaam’s Julius Nyerere International Airport via Kilimanjaro to London’s Gatwick airport every Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday returning via Kilimanjaro to Dar es Salaam on Thursday, Saturday, and Monday.
If granted permission to fly to the European city, it will be Air Tanzania’s first route into Europe. The air carrier will use the London route as a link to other European and American markets.
The airline is undertaking land rights and landing licenses to allow it to fly into United Kingdom. In addition, Air Tanzania will need to secure European Union safety standards certification. In the meantime, the airline has passed IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA), a mandatory requirement for airlines planning international flights.
Air TZ will operate their new Boeing B787 Dreamliner thrice a week positioning it to offer an incredible service and dominate the marketplace.
The new route will pile pressure on some loss making airlines in the region currently flying from their hubs in East Africa to the UK as Air Tanzania gains market share at their expense.
Furthermore, it will increase competition to Air Egypt that has been connecting via Cairo and KLM connecting via Amsterdam and Kilimanjaro.
Air Tanzania has in the recent past resumed flights to Moroni, Entebbe, Johannesburg, Harare, and Bujumbura with planned flights to the Far East in Mumbai, Guangzhou, and Bangkok.
KQ sold off its PRIME slots at LHR. What an awful move. LHR > Gatwick for most travelers to the UK. Meh, don't think it was that awful. They made 7.5b selling those early morning slots (most a slot has sold for at LHR), improved their fleet efficiency as plane didn't have to lie at LHR all day and their London flights still enjoy good loads. Don't think it was that bad. LHR is still the main gateway. ATCL probably couldn't get slots there. Side note, when are HY results being released? Landed at JKIA yesterday and so many people were transiting through there, why isn't this reflective in the results? Because of corruption Someone didn’t tell Tanzania that aviation is not a bed of rosés https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-49460873

The cost of pick up in the morning by Holiday Tours... so just cancel the one way cost... @Obiero I know you are excited by this but its peak season now... They werent able to get seats even on other carriers/rebooking on other carriers and using the disruption tool has become tricky... Planes are packed till end of September. possunt quia posse videntur

Let's enjoy while it lasts.. Seasonality exists in many industries, including telcos! Crude in aviation is playing within hedged range, so it's all gravy for KQ. 50 souls bumped off on a 234 seater isn't bad business, bad customer service indeed, but booming business!

True. However 100m in HOTAC isn't an extreme expense sum for a firm with turnover exceeding KES 110B per annum

For KQ unfortunately it's the staff that cause the unnecessary costs Well KQ has always paid HOTAC its not something new.... It is just that last week there was a meeting officiated by the Director of Operations who is a pilot and all Pilots who have managerial positions plus Head of Ground Services .... That is when they were given the stats... For example last week when there was a crew shortage it was because one FO was having a wedding in Mombasa.... That same Director of Operations who is complaining about delays etc was in the same wedding and should have raised that issue with his colleague pilots. Yes there is the issue of goodwill etc but one can't call in sick a few hours from the flight and go Scott free that is what they do plus they don't have to show evidence that they were actually ill... A couple of flights were cancelled more than 500 pax had to be accommodated just because of 1 wedding... possunt quia posse videntur
