The aviation sector identified long ago that it plays a key role in the economy by them. Tourism and hospitality relies heavily on aviation so as logistics and hence a free port/ free trade zones, zero income tax and subsidies for manufacturing companies.

Airline fully subsidized at the hub - Dubai ( no landing, handling and other related fees, fuel, etc since the Cos offering these services are govt owned i.e. part of the aviation investment, the right people at the top management ( Tim Clark) and one of their own ( CEO is from the Royal family), training for customer facing staff, capital injection in form of aircraft leasing/ concession loans, negotiation of landing rights/ contracts at outstation, zero tolerance to corruption ( Any manager caught flouting rules at the outstations is summarily dismissed), manpower fully utilised i.e. pilots fly on a very tight schedule,no calling sick,lower cadre staff on lower wages, no unions, very high service level on board the aircraft i.e, three course meal and a wide selection of movies ( KQ is the opposite - Ngunze is cutting meals on board yet food is very cheap in Kenya and instead of using it as an advantage, they are stucked with expensive contracts with the catering Cos at JKIA owned by the who is who.

Once again on the gainers list.... KES 7 to be tested. Now I don't do Bolingo bands and such, like @karasinga but the supply has dried up points to a steady rise in price .. Good times ahead

And signs of caving in start!
