I am surprised that KQ doesn't have even a single airbus on it's fleet, despite our historical ties with Europe. They have always chosen the American Boeings instead of the European airbus.

KQ had Airbus planes but they are now retired "There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear. The problem is you hope when you should fear & fear when you should hope: - Jesse Livermore

That said, that cockpit doesn't look very hitech for a plane that's touted as being the most advanced in the world .......ama it's digital and one can switch/swipe between different "windows" and thus the fewer knobs and gizmos?

Putting the 787 on this is like asking a cardiac surgeon to treat malaria as his everyday job  I thought KQ got this beast to open a nonstop route to North America, give Ethiopian some compe and cut out the necessity of Linking via Dubai or Europe? That would even make Nairobi the connector to America for subsaharan Africa
