Huu mzizi utakatwa pale tu KQ wataweka real figures of booking per flight. Sasa hivi wana sema tu 80% Mara 7000, but habari kamaili booking is not what they expected. Halafu KQ wanajaribu to push this flight on shoestring, hakuna advertisement ya maana to alert American PX's.7000÷(0.8×250)= 35 days booked.

35 days booked for the last quarter of the year (90 days) is bad considering its the high season. Quarter 1,2,3 of 2019 will surely do damage to the route unless something like a miracle happens..Wait and seeHuu mzizi utakatwa pale tu KQ wataweka real figures of booking per flight.

I'll give the benefit of doubt, maybe you haven't read the main post correctly. Pls read it again. And there is not aircraft in the world which can carry 7000px at one go.You clearly don't know how flights operate. Have you ever flown?
This is an inaugural flight and nowhere has it been stated that that's the number for the whole year. This is your own assumption.
The numbers will only pick up from here
When these people see 7000 figure, they get confused and think its a booming business..I'll give the benefit of doubt, maybe you haven't read the main post correctly. Pls read it again. And there is not aircraft in the world which can carry 7000px at one go.
Very true, I truly wish them to well, lakini itabidi wabadili kidogo their plan and put a little bit more money into this route. Wakumbuke wanashidana na KLM, Air France, British Airway's and all those Arabic airlines. It wont be a walk in the park..35 days booked for the last quarter of the year (90 days) is bad considering its the high season. Quarter 1,2,3 of 2019 will surely do damage to the route unless something like a miracle happens..Wait and see
You can always learn something on JF.When these people see 7000 figure, they get confused and think its a booming business..
The route has shown business potential of only 33%..66% is empty seats
Yap, even the 7000 figure we are not told if its 1 way or return flight booking..and to add to that, KQ will be code sharing with Delta Airlines..thats why 33% booking is a joke and a miracle is requiredYou can always learn something on JF.
This is the reason I advise people from countries with no tangible aviation industry to desist from commenting on matters aviation.“To date we have over 7,000 bookings for the New York route with expected cabin factor of above 80 per cent for the inaugural flight. We are entering the booking window and expect to take off with a much higher occupancy,”
The word expected tells you is not a done deal. Ukiangalia vizuri, 7000 booking for one year, ina maana flights zingine zina booking mbili au tatu tu.

You are Geza UloleI have answered this Question in to so many people..How is it relavant? I am patriotic to kenya not patriotic to the fake corrupt tribal kenya that Jubilee have tried to tell us is kenya..
You will be suprised at how many Tznians would not want to be even associated with kikwete's corrupt version of Tanzania..
You are Geza Ulole

I remember a time when you argued here so vigorously claiming a KQ 777 Boeing was actually a Boeing 737. You came fire blazing claiming you're an expert in aviation matters and even zoomed non-existent 'fine details of the nose' that nobody else could see just to prove your point and went ahead and bragged how you've used all those planes for decades and can tell which is which from a distance. I waited for you to make a complete fool of yourself before I schooled you that the 777 has three pairs of wheels on each of the hind landing gear like the KQ plane in question while 737 has only two pairs. You ran off like a dog with its tail between its legs and never commented on the thread again. Since that day, I've seen you make many ignorant comments on aviation here and I've concluded 3 things.This is "Two cent short for a dollar" comment.
