Hahaha breakdown that domestic figures mind u Nrb-Mombasa is domestic n Ugandans, Rwandans n Congolese flying to Mombasa port r also counted domestic. Aside tourists as very few direct flights to Mombasa are at offer! It's like forcing tourists flying to Kilimanjaro n Zanzibar to land at JKIA first! [emoji23] [emoji115]

Hapo domestic 2011 tuliwapiku kabisa, Nashuku hata hizo number za domestic 2009,2010 mlitushinda kwasababu bado tulikua tunapoa vidonda vya ghasia za kikabila/siasa za 2008 baada ya uchaguzi mkuu wa 2007.. Alafu ndo tukaanza kurecover mbio mbio tukachukua uskani tena...
Hata ukilinganisha na takwimu za uchumi wa nchi, Mwaka wa 2011, Uchumi wa Kenya ulikua kwa kasi zaidi (7%)... Pia mwaka huo huo, Real estate ya kenya (Mombasa, Nairobi) ilikua kwa kasi zaidi dunuiani ikifwatwa na kina Miami, Tokyo.....etc

So what's the reason for that jump btn 2010 and 2011? Again u forced international flights to drop passengers at JNIA and then count them as domestic when transiting to Mombasa! Believe me with ur drop of tourism in Kenya ans massive improvements in the secondary and tertiary airports/airstrips in Tanzania, the number of PAX will be higher in Tanzania btn 2012-2016. I have that strong feeling. I will get u right numbers, wait...

Kenya is king of domestic air travel in Africa

When it comes to domestic air travel in Africa, Kenya’s capital Nairobi is king.
According to travel data company Forward Keys, Nairobi’s domestic air travel recorded 22% growth in 2017, beating its closest competitorsTunis and Addis Ababa, which grew by 14% and 9% respectively. In addition, long-haul international flights to Nairobi grew by 8%, making it the only major African city where domestic air travel is outpacing international traffic.
Forward Keys collated the data on reservations handled by more than 200,000 online and offline travel agencies worldwide between Jan. 1 and July 31. The analysis also looked at major airports in 10 cities across eight countries including Ethiopia, South Africa, Nigeria, Egypt, and Morocco.
The growth in Kenya’s domestic air travel has been facilitated by a number of factors, key among them the improvement of the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. After a fire gutted the international arrivals terminal in 2013, a multimillion- dollar expansion plan was set in place that was expected to boost capacity threefold from 2.5 million to 7.5 million passengers annually. As part of the government’s long-term Vision 2030 plan, airports in Mombasa, Kisumu, and Malindi have all seen the injection of sizable investments aimed at modernizing.
Domestic tourism is also a major booster of local air travel in Kenya, where the country’s emerging middle class has shown an increased appetite for travel. Local tourism barely existed over a decade ago, but more Kenyans are now traveling, increasing hotel occupancy rates at beach resorts and national parks especially for weddings and big holidays like Christmas. Domestic and budget carriers like Kenya Airways, Fly 540, Safari Link, and Jambo Jet among others have all come in to serve this market, establishing routes across the country.
Air travel to Kenya also saw robust growth because intra-African travelers have preferred east African destinations, which are among the most open in Africa when it comes to visa regulations. In 2016, despite the threat of terrorism, electoral tension, and political violence, air travel to Ethiopia, Tanzania, and Kenya all increased, with the latter leading the pack with 14.9% in growth.
The increase in domestic flights doesn’t ease the troubles facing Kenya’s national carrier. Once the “pride of Africa,” the company has recorded consecutive years of losses, the result of a poorly timed expansion strategy. Last year, as part of an ambitious plan to turn around its fortunes, the government ordered all state officials to fly on Kenya Airways when traveling for public business or spending taxpayer funds.

I have already given my two cents on that one, post election violence affected the transport industry alot, the economy grew 1.3% in 2008 (this was just before the economy was clocking 7% b4 the elections), 2009 we started recovering and by 2011 we had a strong economic growth, it is also the same year Kenya experienced the highest growth in real estate globally 2011... 2011-2012 is also the year Kenya experienced highest growth of middle-class...... 2011 also the year KQ started receiving its 10 Ebrear E-190 jets which had been on order... I can go on and on.....
