Did they consider fifth freedom rights to these destinations from neighboring countries.The fortunes of KQ even in Africa are dwindling. It is due to the fleet reduction that is forcing them to axe these routes and I think more terminations will follow.I thought the reduction in loss will translate to new markets development.Meanwhile ET is landing in Comoros very soon and they will be forced to scale down the additional frequency.
The reduction of capacity to Europe was an ill-informed decision. Intra-Africa traffic numbers are very low and you need transfers from Europe and Asia to supplement. A new management with new way of thinking is required to chart a strategic direction for KQ. With continued stay of Ngunze, this airline will not recover.
Route optimization was/is under Seabury
No consultant can help you evaluate the network. Ngunze should not have been left to do this exercise but instead let go.
The level of deliberation among this management is very shallow. All these decisions are totally wrong.
Watch how the competition will react to this news. Ngunze does not have the interest of this airline at heart.
