This thread points to increasing consumer expectations but air travel still remains for many a disappointing, grumble-worthy experience. For KQ • Reduce costs and improve operational efficiency –with modernized fleet to incorporate more fuel-efficient aircraft. Achieved? • Get to know their customers better. • Cut the fat, not the muscle. - Management needs to be ruthless in cutting costs in all other areas that are not relevant to safety, reputation, branding, or customer value. • Use digitization to reduce operating costs. • Partner strategically. http://www.strategyand.p...es/2015-aviation-trends
 My problem with KQ is mainly because they seem to disproportionally employ male air hosts than the female hostess.

My problem with KQ is mainly because they seem to disproportionally employ male air hosts than the female hostess. That is VERY GOOD customer feedback- straight from the heart. I hope KQ is in good enough humor to read and note. But the problem lies with men passengers. They marry out nice hostesses with reckless abandon. I wonder how KLM manages to keep the nubile/ curvy Turkish hostesses in their Citi Hoppas.

Saw a report sometimes back with Airfrance comparing itself with Singapore Airlines. This is on business class. There is no comparison.If you saw the training the cabin crew from Singapore Airlines undergo , no wonder its the best Airline.So Kenya Airways should try and copy the best airlines and not compare with the ones down there in the list.

Is this sabotage or what? why does it seem that KQ staff don't want to do what is right? or perhaps, are they just plain incompetent and don't know how to firefight or what to do in some situations? While all of you are at it against KQ the world sees differently. Just today they won an african award for second year running, cargo though. http://www.businessdaily...8/-/5lho6dz/-/index.htmlThe only time you should be looking down on others is when you are helping them up.
