Kenya Airways loses KSh202 million every month to its Boeing 777Kenya Airways CEO Sebastian Mikosz has disclosed that the airline loses approximately $2 million (KSh202 million) every month to its Boeing 777 aircraft. Speaking at a parliamentary committee meeting, the executive admitted that the purchase of the long-range aircraft was a mistake. “We did a mistake with the 777 which are costing us lots of money and trouble today, and I’m doing everything I can to get rid of those aircrafts….” said Mr. Sebastian to the parliamentarians in charge of the Transport, Public Works and Housing. The planes were bought in the early 2000s from Boeing as part of the airline’s expansion plan. In 2016, KQ sold two B777 airplanes to a US airline company and leased the remaining fleet to Turkish airlines. Wealth is built through a relatively simple equation

The planes were bought in the early 2000s from Boeing as part of the airline’s expansion plan. In 2016, KQ sold two B777 airplanes to a US airline company and leased the remaining fleet to Turkish airlines. The last paragraph is wrong. The reporter is mixing up the -200ER which are now all disposed and the -300ER sub-leased to Turkish at a lower price than the actual lease cost KQ pays owners. Mikosz contradicts himself on this again. He initially stated the -300ER will return to the fleet and won’t be sold.

Do not sit on shares of a firm that is dying. Take the loss and move on. It was an expensive lesson but my KK covered the losses from KQ and some. Greedy when others are fearful.

My reading of all this points to a possibility of someone wanting to grab JKIA through the back door. If KQ default on its loan, then JKIA or part of the land can be auctioned and sold to the highest binder. We can then debate on whether an airline or an airport is of more national importance. Time is money, so money is time. Money saved is time gained in reverse! Money stores your life’s energy. You expend your energy, get paid money, and store that money for a future purchase made in a currency.

KQ Resorts To Code Sharing Before Finally Suspending US Direct Flightshttps://www.kahawatungu....&utm_medium=twitter
Despite Kenya Airways (KQ) announcing resumption of daily direct flights to US in June, it is evident that the national carrier cannot sustain the flights. In fact, the airliner will not actually resume the flights, but will use American airliner, Delta Airlines, to advance the agenda, which means that a big chunk of profits will go the firm. The two airlines announced that they had signed a code sharing deal, that would see the plan materialise. A code sharing deal is a commercial arrangement between two airlines, whereby one sells seats on a flight operated by the other. In this sense, Kenya Airways, owing to its limited financial ability, will be ‘selling’ its passengers to the American carrier. “As part of our commitment to the New York route, we are proud to be a part of this partnership that will open up opportunities for our customers to access more destinations in North America through the John F. Kennedy Airport,” KQ CEO Sebastian Mikosz said. Barely two weeks after launching the route, KQ reduced the number of its direct flights to new York, US, over low demand.
