Ever had a bath so hot,that as you lower urself in 'Oo! Oo! Oo! Aa! Aa! Aa..ahhh…ohhh yeahh eehhh yeahh!'.

flied in the recent past on their west african routes and their flights are fully booked same as the southern african routes (especially during the weekends). with world cup coming next year KQ is expected to have record bookings and the turn around will be in the coming in a year's time.

@vvs
that was the day high,the close was 27,still up.KQ,SAFCOM,SASINI,CENTUM look headed up on demand/supply.The days outsize were Kenol and Equity both trading shares worth more than 0.3billion.

see it through my lens?

replaced a 767-300ER with a new one...nice...they need more also i guess

Niône mwisho ya mwezi pliz!

KQ has been entering into wet leases to manage passenger loads & aircraft shortages. I do not have full details but that means they are filling up the planes. That said... it's better to have your own plane if you need it longer-term.

you definately would be a bagholder for life if u bought KQ at 50.you are all ignoring all the news on this company's financials and oil hedges.KQ is only a buy under 19bucks and for a trade(not investment).

@mturi - My comments below are about profits NOT share price...
* World economy is improving coz of 'looser' credit thus folks can borrow again. Just not as much. KQ should benefit since Africa(ns) are not that leveraged though lower remittances will hurt.
** Consolidation was overdue. What happened was that anti-trust regulations forced the different airlines to stay separate. BA & Iberia have had talks in the past but now the reasons are more compelling. The 'anti-trust' cops have little choice coz their intransigence might kill BA or Iberia (or make them much smaller). Politically that does not fly with UK or Spain.
*** Oil prices are 'high' but affordable... some airlines will close up shop. That leaves fewer airlines. Fewer passengers. Maybe better margins. KQ has newer planes thus lower direct operating/fuel costs per passenger.
**** Hedging did not work in 2008. Unless you know the details of KQ's FORWARD hedges... how do you know they are ineffective? [Ans: You do not. If you know where oil prices will be... then you can make millions/billions...]

Well... I do not know about 50/- but KQ is on its way to 30/-. I wish we had more information but KQ does not produce quarterly results. Oil at $76 definitely adds to more 'profits' (or lower cash losses from hedges)...

Is this movement just out of sheer speculation??
