Payload is restricted... This is understandable considering the flight time over the Atlantic Ocean and the average size of the persons who will be plying the route

Airlines flying flights of similar length deploy the Boeing 777-200LR (15,800km), Airbus A340 (17,000km) or the A350-900/1000 (15,000/15,600km). The manufacturer’s advertised range for the Boeing 787-8 that KQ will deploy is 13,600km; theoretically enough to cover the 11,386km to New York from Nairobi. However, that is only at the most optimum conditions with little load. Remember, more load (passengers and cargo) = more money for the airline. Which is why I think @maka says they will limit numbers to 178 and, most likely, no cargo. What is so special about KQ to allow them to use the wrong tool for the job and succeed? No amount of marketing juice or nationalistic hubris can alter the laws of economics. The only way is to charge a song in a competitive market with very price-sensitive customers (who don’t mind a longer journey time). Good luck with that. Word is the bookings are very dismal (the best is under 100), for a route that has been selling for months. Add to that, they’re starting with a daily flight; a good way to multiply the coming losses very fast. That management forecast for the effect on revenues is extremely optimistic, and crucially omits the inevitable negative effect on the bottom-line and equity.

How many direct USA flights originate from Africa daily. A continent of over 1.26 billion people! KQ is Africa's third largest airline. Assuming just 0.5% of these people would want to travel to New York per year.. Kenya is a hub of continental repute and with KQs linkage in Africa, I bet that the daily cabin would almost be filled. Its not a bad destination, at the right price. Obviously, the first years would not be profitable but in the overall plan of things, its a good route to have..

Doesn't KQ have a 777-200LR? Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett
