How can any rational investor compare KQ and safcom??

I also heard a certain investor trying to compare KQ to etihad or emirates.. HOW!!??

The long term price movement for KQ is down down down down down!!
As i have said before debt, oil prices & competition will crush this company's earnings badly..

Anyone buying or owning KQ with the available information in the market is naive to the wrath that airlines have unleashed worldwide time & time again!

Emirates offers fare cuts to Kenyan travellers - http://goo.gl/ROZuo

But Cathay pacific , Turkish and Singapore definitely are

@mazingira, you loose us. First you say KQ are good at what they do BUT then again 1. are expensive, 2. needs help with finances, 3. profit hujui 4. customer satisfaction need work 5. cabin crews need to be more friendly 6. Cathay Pacific, Turkish and Singapore definitely better than KQ. All in one post. I am left wondering what is it that they (KQ) do and 'do good'??

All travel firms are suffering look at this

Thomas Cook has been selling off some of its assets to reduce its debts
Struggling travel group Thomas Cook has reported widening annual losses due to reduced capacity and higher fuel costs.

Pre-tax losses for the year to the end of September were £485.3m, up from £398.2m the previous year.

Revenue fell to £9.5bn from £9.8bn in what the company described as a "difficult trading environment".

Despite the loss, the company said the final quarter had been a "major improvement" on a year ago and added it was "optimistic about the future".

"These results reflect the major issues that Thomas Cook faced last year, but they mask the material improvement that we made in the fourth quarter," said Harriet Green, who took over as chief executive in the summer.

The company also said it had reduced its debts by more than £100m over the period, to £788m from £891m.

Lower bookings

Thomas Cook said plans to stabilise the business in the UK were now complete, with the closure of 149 shops contributing to significant cost savings and an improvement in profit margins.

Bookings in the UK during the year were down 2%, however, while they fell by 9% in west Europe and by 3% in north Europe. Bookings in Germany were up by 9%.

The company has struggled with high debt and the wider downturn in the global travel sector.

It got into particular difficulty last year when the unrest in the Middle East and North Africa affected its operations in Egypt and Tunisia.

In May this year, the group secured a £1.4bn refinancing package, giving it a further three years to repay its debts.
