The pilots and crew of KQ have no skin in the game. They will kill the goose that has been laying golden eggs for it. The Board, Management & Staff in KQ are screwing the shareholders. Pole sana.

China Southern to fly to Nairobi 3x week

http://www.businessdaily.../-/frt8xvz/-/index.html

Does this help or hurt KQ? One can fly daily to Guangzhou since they code-share but it also means some passengers (esp the Chinese) can shift their allegiance to China Southern. Effectively, this will cut into KQ's exclusivity on this route.

The other side of the coin (comments section)

Our media is always negative!!!! They are not travelled and think competition alone makes all. Do they know what a hub means? A hub creates more business for Dubai, Heathrow etc more than what their specific airlines make. More travellers to Kenya and Nairobi for that matter means more business...Now we want some international Chinese hotels in Nairobi.

The media need to employ aviation journalists who can understand aviation matters. The entry of China Southern, which in 2014 carried over 100million passengers, will mean KQ will reap big time as all the 300 passengers coming daily majority will transit to connecting flights within Africa operated by Kenya Airways and without CS landing in Nairobi, they will probably connect via Jo'burg, Cairo or Europe and fly SAA or MS. Nairobi will be China gateway to Africa, KQ WINS BIG.

Do KQ's NBO - Guangzhou flights fly full?
If yes, then the addition of China Southern will be a plus as KQ can sell more seats.
If no, then it could be a problem as passengers have a choice between KQ or CS.

Too bad KQ cannot use its 777 to fly another Chinese/Asian route.

@VVS, you earlier pointed at the problem of having very a strong union in post 1414.

.. never invest in a firm where unionized employees can bend you over at will and have their way..
And KQ's employees aren't shareholders either. they are in it for the cash not growth or ownership...

and now the union demands will definitely hinder management from taking optimal business decisions, from the article the union (KALPA) wants to be consulted.

The competition is now parked
in Kenya Airways backyard. This
week I was in Dubai and I noted
the Emirates flight was full and
carrying more than 400 passengers. Kenya Airways uplifted less
than 40 passengers on the very
same day. Fourty passengers on
a Dreamliner is a loss! Plain and
simple


From the Emirates website, they dont have any airplane with a capacity of over 400 pax except the Airbus 380.
Now they dont fly such type of airplane into Nairobi.

Shame on you Shame on you Shame on you Shame on you

Emirates equipment on nbo route is 773. Can seat 450 in two class config. BTW 773 can do 500.


I will dig in deep BUT I dont think Emirates has any of its aircraft configured in two classes...theirs is always three classes...two classes are for the poor!
Let me check further!

You know you've made it when you get a parking space for your yatcht.

just jetted into Nairobi and I counted 11 KQ planes lying around.. I hope that they are scheduled for take off sometime today.. Otherwise, there is a problem since that forms about a third of its entire fleet

They were waiting for their #3 shareholder behind GoK and KLM.
