The 787 could have replaced some of the 737 seats on NBO-West Africa routes.
The disadvantage would have been the 787 can't do the matatu hops like the 737. The two most crucial components of a flight remain take off and landing.. I would rather reduce the odds than increase them on route serviced by Delta. Which American would rather fly KQ out of Accra than their very own Delta! The same Americans who fly KLM to AMS? Or AF to CDG? Or BA to LHR? Check the NTSB stats and the Fly American state policy of the USA The fly american policy only applies to US federal and state employees or private sector employees contracted by the federal or state(s) government of USA If Obiero did it, Who Am I?

Non-stop baba Those stops are chaos sometimes you have a delay and connecting flights leave, you have to be rescheduled and imagine you are attending a meeting that you had only one day rest that means you have to do with jetlag. Not once i have missed my connecting flight at LHR and CDG to JFK or coming back to Kenya and bags being left yet you had that perfect gift for your spouse in that bag then it comes when you have already gone back Life is an endless adventure

The KQ management went into a panic mode since such a massive withdrawal would have grounded many of its planes and in turn, led to major losses.  Read more at: https://www.standardmedi...fuel-cash-to-parliament
Lakini, I spoke to Ohana to help KQ out. ASM is one of the oil vendors that has a contract with KQ. The firm, however, doesn’t have any major foothold in the country but is hosted by Kenol Kobil through an industry agreement known as “hospitality contract.” After all, if we do not support our retarded, I mean "special" sibling, who will?
