Is my richdata playing tricks on me or did someone just purchase 8,700shares @ 9.6sh? Surely it must be my data. Formally employed people often live their employers' dream & forget about their own.

I just checked with KQ for some folks... Flights back to normal... There is some backlog [passengers in Paris & London] but as long as the weather stays OK, they will get the folks to where they want. Plus people prefer DIRECT flights after a long stay at the airport. No need to take connecting flights... Greedy when others are fearful.

When will i ever leave this share!! Too young to get ulcers. The investor's chief problem - and even his worst enemy - is likely to be himself

The 767 is ocassional. There are I think 2 or 3 737's fully dedicated. Every 20 or 30 min a 737 is taking off fm HKMO! Jetlink have a similar frequency, giving the true definition of a festive season. TULIA.........UFUNZWE!

Perhaps they had cargo as well? No idea! One advantage of using a 767 is the flight was 35 mins! The rest of the 1 hour was waiting to take off & getting to the gate! Greedy when others are fearful.

I don't know whether am old fashioned or what but why would any-one want to fly to Mombasa during the holidays! when the drive down has a much better experience!! or is it just another of a queer habits!
The greatest danger in times of turbulence is not the turbulence; it is to act with yesterday's logic.

I was flying solo + time crunch. BTW, IMHO the cost of driving to Mombasa [alone] is higher than flying... Best case: 50 litres to Mombasa = 4,700/- + wear & tear + traffic + stress + time [BTW, the cost of flying should include cab fares to/from the airports] An advantage of having your own car is no need to use cabs/tuktuks/rentals + convenience Greedy when others are fearful.

Last time (11th Dec) I looked across at the Old Airport apron (The Air-force), I saw two 737s parked that seemed like they were undergoing a paint job. I suspect these were the leased kites from KLM, so probably they haven't finished with the paint-job, hence lack of 737s on the Msa route, where they were to be deployed on a full-time basis.

Interesting. Why would they be re-painting them during the PEAK travel season??? I wonder if there is drop in African traffic thus the availability of the 767? [BTW, as a shareholder, I don't care if the leased planes are in KLM colors. Kwani? Passengers watakata to fly in the planes? These are mainly for NBO-MBA routes] Greedy when others are fearful.

@vvs n gg, I think the lease was to last only 2months, n its already xpired. Two months ago there were 2 blue kq 737s (in what appered to be KLM livery with large white words "Kenya airways") plying msa route. No longer there. TULIA.........UFUNZWE!
