Good chance for KQ to fill the gap [/quote]
Hakuna ndege...:-)
But those embraer's are work horses and they rarely break down they should get more of the same...Very hard planes...[/quote]
Payload restrictions, only suitable for thin routes. The flying range is also another issue. With payload issues then no cargo and duty free revenue which is a big loss.
We shall see what Mikosz will go for. B737 max 10 is the best option followed by bombardier cs100.
[/quote]
@arresteddev the bombardier has very sparse service support in Africa.. Most of the tarmac that KQ lands on in various parts of Africa is game for the Embraer.. Cargo business within Africa is rising and the KQ cargo plane will take care of that [/quote]
Plenty of support, Q400 is everywhere. You do not have a grasp of this subject matter.
[/quote]
@arresteddev im not an aviation expert but surely Boeing and Embraer have stronger after sales support across Africa which is KQ's bread basket.. See this http://www.bombardier.com/en/worldwide-presence.html/middle-east-and-africa[/quote]
Nothing. KQ has engineers. Manufacturer's attention only required in a few instances. Majority of the maintenance issues handled by the Airline/ maintenance service providers on the spot.
Magufuli already made an order for a CS300 then the rest will follow suit.
[/quote]
Do you mean that a KQ engineer can attend to some incident like a pierced fuselage or ill-angled tail [/quote]
Why not? These boys are not whacky as they wish to make you believe sir obiero[/quote]
Kindly read about the fire on Ethiopian and how long it took to fix and where the repairs were effected from. While at it also please inform us where the recently hit Boeing for KQ is being fixed..

I feel your pains @obiero. You leave an african doctor in krnya for an african nurse in india. Thats how yhe deals are ate and brokered, courtesy of your big dad nguzio:-d :-d :-d :-d
Did i here somebody tell me who won the eatimg competation @kqueer. Probably the race got an upgrade
How is /are the ppt frontrunners? [/quote]
Stock trading belongs to the bold.. It's high stakes and one must be ready to see positions change.. Right now, KQ stock is on a back foot held up by the 3 misguided banks, but soon it shall be our time to eat. Soon and very soon[/quote]
"Trading" vs "Investing" >>> Many Wazuans prefer "investing" as we know that's where the real money is as firms grow and prosper. Of course, one should be ready to bail out as I did out of KQ in 2012 when I saw the crazy "Project Mawingu"
Don't fall in love with a firm's shares.
If things change, I will bail out of my "Big Five" including Unga, KenRe, I&M, KK, Centum as well as Equity, NIC, DTB, FTGH, Safcom, etc...

Mzee wa kazi @vvs it's time to come back inside the Pride of Africa
[/quote]
Not investable for me BUT I do want KQ to succeed as a Kenyan firm. We need KQ to succeed. We want the good jobs, the local purchasing, the weaning off the Taxpayer, the MICE, the tourists, etc. As an investment, I will stay away until I see real progress. I am a Warren Buffet fan and he re-invested in airlines only AFTER he saw solid progress.
Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett
