Southwest has been giving its shareholders dividends every quarter but their plus has been their business strategy. Hedging.

It doesnt matter if its in banking or manufacturing. @murchr in the airline industry failure is the rule rather than the exception. lets talk facts, shall we... The airline industry is characterized by: 1. High barriers to entry because of capital costs and regulations. 2. Low profit margins. 3. High fixed costs for fuel, personnel, debt service and lease rentals. 4. Highly competitive, with constant price wars and ticket discounting. Most are highly subsidized national assets. Our beloved pride of Africa's (one of the best performing and managed airlines in the world) revenues for the last 3 yrs combined was KShs 311B but only KShs 1.6B reached the shareholders! Putting that money in T Bills would have earned you at least KShs 30B ((Average shareholders funds for 3 yrs was 28B. With 90% gearing these funds would have earned at least 10B from government paper)) . IMO, compared with other investments, project mawingu is just creating a bigger giant with a softer under belly. Now @murchr which of the above do you dispute? Give reasons. Spot on... Still, KQ is just one airline in the industry, most of them are making money ... delta, american, british, emirates, southwest, Japan airlines, Emirates, Ethiopian.....you name it, Question should be, why is KQ still making losses....Over capacity? un attractive rates? Travel advisories? Lack of strategy...etc. Avoid blanket statements "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

Has KQ issued a profit warning? I haven't been following this very keenly "The trouble with not having a goal is that you can spend your life running up and down the field and never score". - Bill Copeland

Seeing something about KQ closing its runway for 6 hours daily i.e. cutting upto 30% of flights, can this be right? Sehemu ndio nyumba
