But the shortest route is via Greenland and Iceland since the earth is a globe. Thats enough is not a good definition in fact thats an hogwash explanantion; the correct explantion is that the Earth as we know it is an oblong globe! An oblong globe is still a globe....

Pork received it when it had already gathered 'karukungu'. Airline routings are crazy tuwache kudiscuss globe cz it's stealing the thunder from the Dreamliner. Its routes? Passenger/Cargo capacity? Frequency? Cost?

This I object. When the 777-300ER arrived PORK went to receive it. Now this It is just a plane and KQ is a private company...I think Ethiopian have been flying one here so the plane is not a new phenomenon as such..The Monister of Transport should have sufficed May be if Boeing had chosen KQ as the launch customer, it would have been an event worth the gravitas of a president. It's not just a plane but a US$211.8M (Ksh 18.2B) investment by a company where the govt is the single largest shareholder. http://www.boeing.com/boeing/commercial/prices/

The MH370 had its radar switched off from inside the a/c so there is no way it could have tracked using simplle systems like this Flightradar!!!

Infact Flightradar24 gave them the last position for the MH370, but Malaysian authorities instead decided to go and search for it in Australia!!!!! And even if the pilots switched off the transponder, bado the plane could have been detected by the external military or civil aviation radar....including radar of the numerous US warships patrolling that part of world.

KQ must have received discounts due to late delivery, probably even larger discounts if the sale was hidden as part of a mega order by KLM.
