I see where u are going with this....but b4 we yet again start splitting hairs whether KQ is Kenyan- owned (I believe that is where u are heading with this)....

-what is your definition of a National Carrier?

-thea4, arent airlines like the British Airlines a national carrier as we have always assumed?
 
A National carrier is an airline or shipping line that is owned by the "Government" of the country that it was registered.
A flag carrier, doesn't need to be a National carrier; It means it was registered in a country whose flag is carried on its vessels/aircraft.
Thea4 (as you've put it), British Airways used to be a national carrier, but it isn't anymore. It's just a flag carrier.
Also, that's one of the reasons that US doesn't have a national carrier.
Kenya Airways is a flag carrier just like Fastjet.
That's why you don't have a crispy ndugu Odhiambo holding the mic in that cover picture, because The composition of Board of Directors is proportional to the votes in the corporate world (usually/traditionally).
 

GO AWAY DUDE!

A national carrier is a flag carrier, difference nada!
A shipping or airline company registered in a country and is linked with that particular country is a national/flag carrier!
Both terms can be rightly used alternately in that regard.

Now the BA is the UK's flag/national carrier, regardless of composition of the shareholders.

Fyi, the Kenya govt is the single largest shareholder at the KQ with 49% of the shares. The directors are Kenyans (yeah, even the pale- skinned persons on the BoD), and the private investors there the majority of them are Kenyans.

The foreign investors hold only a miniscule portion of the shares with KLM, the largest foreign shareholder controlling a paltry 7.8% of the stake.

Long story short, KQ is Kenya's national/flag carrier.
 
  1. GO AWAY DUDE!
NO DUDE!
All airplanes and shipping vessels, trucks, cars have nationality based on their country of registry.
But to be a "National carrier", the airline needs to be State-owned. I'm showing you an excerpt from the European Commission paper on Airline business models in Europe. Note how they describe airlines like BA as former National carriers based on privatization.
2.2 Full-Service Network Carriers (FSNC)

A “legacy” or “full-service network carrier” is an airline that focuses on providing a wide range of pre-flight and onboard services, including different service classes, and connecting flights. Since most FSNCs operate a hub-and-spoke model, this group of airlines is usually also referred to as hub-and-spoke airlines. In most European countries, the (former) national carrier operates as an FSNC. Examples are Air France/KLM, Lufthansa, British Airways, Iberia, Austrian Airlines, LOT or the multi-national airline Scandinavian (SAS). While most of the former national carriers in larger EU countries are now either fully or at least to a major extent privatized, some (often smaller) EU countries still have significant interests in their respective national carriers. -
