Ngunze's winning big in Africa dream is the silver bullet for KQ. Let the international airlines bring peope into Africa. Its good news! It is not good news for KQ.

Qatar Airways and the other One world alliance partners will now be the beneficiaries. I understand you on the direct entry to MSA but 100% will choose Qatar or other alliance partners?? The Nairobi link is crucial and it's unlikely that their chosen route will carry stupendous numbers Yes it will adversely affect the numbers for KQ especially NBO-MBS, AMS-NBO, Paris-NBO, LHR-NBO AND even FROM Asia. Uhuruto signed it off when the Emir was in NBO a few weeks ago. I miss Kibaki's advisors, although they were corrupt, still they knew what is strategic and not. I am not sure what we got from Qatar in exchange for this. Mombasa residents benefit from better, easier & cheaper connections. Protectionism isn't optimal. Competition creates incentive a for better services, value and freedom of choice. This is the most misinformed post I have ever seen from you. Qatar will slaughter KQ and have it for dinner. Life is short. Live passionately.

You cannot compare the cost base of KQ to that of Qatar Airways. KQ also gets subsidies through cheap loans or guarantees on loans. Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett
