I want KQ to succeed but the current set-up with KAWU, KALPA, politicians and others holding it hostage isn't the way to go.

The "Old KQ" in receivership can't be milked by these malcontents & tenderpreneurs. The Taxpayer should NOT be on the hook for more losses.

The "New KQ" with an independent board/management, held accountable, should be allowed to chart its own course. Let ALL Kenyan airlines benefit from lower taxes on fuel, spare parts, planes, etc especially for international flights so they can compete with RwandAir, Emirates, BA, etc.

Or ZERO tax on all fuel, spares, planes, etc that are used for international flight segments. Let's take a 777 which is solely used for international flights. Zero tax on the plane, engines, fuel, consumables, etc.

JKIA can reduce the fees for the aircraft/take-offs/landings by improving the efficiencies wherever possible.

New KQ can look at Mombasa as an alternate hub. I think Qatar, RwandAir and Ethiopian fly direct to Mombasa. Convince the EAC countries to invest in New KQ instead of their own airlines. Revive the name "EA Airlines/Airways" so they don't feel it's just Kenya Airways.

Our market is too small to support 4 national airlines.
Air Uganda
Air Tanzania
RwandAir
KQ

How many East African citizens/taxpayers can afford to fly?
Why should non-users pay to support/subsidize these airlines?

Countries that want flights that are not economically viable should be ready to pay for the flights. They should subsidize EAA for those segments.

Anyway, I know the above is not likely to happen any time soon but the Kenyan Taxpayer should be off the hook going forward.

I am willing to take my lumps/write-offs in KQLC and through Treasury for the past if KQ has a better tomorrow.

They can’t. Only when the financial statements are released officially. Deloitte have KQ results in their possession and they can’t leak to KPMG.

The KPMG report is based on the JKIA proposal and the 2017 results.

Does anyone have the list of which banks have shares in KQLC and how many shares?

Sadly, Equity and I&M have shares in KQLC. I want to calculate the provision they need to make.

Speak less.. Hii nchi iko na wenyewe. Resolution number 6 by Mtongoria keeps me bullish.. Refer to my comments on the interest rate cap debate and prior knowledge that the presidential accent was guaranteed, three months before the fact..

>>> Isn't JJ competing directly with KQ on some routes?

What about the "premium passengers"?
Remember the hissy fit the Burundians threw?
