Sijaona KLM or Emirate or Etihad or even Ethiopian airline making a stop in Kenya and then fly to Tanzania. Hakuna, they will not get permission to do that and it will be uneconomic for them to do so.I didn't say you have zero direct. But most stop over in Nairobi.
If they did not make the Nairobi stopover, they would fly almost empty.
Have you seen a taxi driver or a teacher paying $10,000 a night any were in the world. Hizi akili za kubebewa mpunguze kidogo.
When Balala offering ryan air a deal to fly Mombasa who was he catering for if not wazungu road sweepers.
This why Tanzania beat Kenya on tourism. 2018 alone how many "A" listers have visited Tanzania, I'll start with Obama. You've my permission, continue counting....Idiot.
How many tourists paying 10,000 a night fly over.
Not more than 3 per year. You need to start using your brain.
Tourism is a mass market.
Hata hayo ambayo hayana matamko tungekuwa tulishayajua kitambo sisi wakenya. Lakini sishangai sana kuyasikia kutoka kwa kijana wa Lumumba, nimeshakufahimisha mchawi wenu ni nani, sio wakenya wala serikali ya Kenya. Jukumu langu kama jirani nimeshalitekeleza.Mbona unafikiria kiuwepisi hivyo, wewe mpaka uone matamko ya serikali ndio uamini, kuna mengine mengi hayana matamko baba.

BS.
A listers who would make up 0.00001% of all tourist numbers.
And you confuse being famous for being wealthy. Even those A listers you are very eager to mention, 90% of them cannot spend $10,000 a night on a hotel room.
Some, like the Swiss president who I'm sure you can't wait to mention, is just a middle class man on a government salary.

Tanzania firm halts Kenya flour exports over tax changes

Tanzania-based Bakhresa Group, which owns one of the largest flour mill in the country, has suspended exports to Kenya citing frequent changes in tax rules.
The firm, a well-known family-owned business founded by tycoon Said Salim Awadh Bakhresa, says frequent changes in tax rules have slowed its exports to Kenya and led to losses running into millions of shillings.
“The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has in recent months surprised us with sudden changes that end up increasing our tax liability six fold,” its export manager Yasini Billo said, claiming the changes usually aren’t communicated to importers until products get to the border.

“We see the hidden hand of competition in all this since our products do not encounter similar restriction in the other East Africa Community (EAC) markets that we export to.”
- Protect us from Tanzania, traders cry out
- TZ now bans carrots from Kenya
- KRA’s tracking of regional imports triggers concerns across borders
- Local sweet firms take Sh136m hit from Kenya, Dar trade tiff
The Group, with a turnover of more than Sh80 billion, produces flour, carbonated soft drinks, dairy products, water, packaging material and petroleum products. It also owns a ferry transport service and runs a pay TV.
Apart from Tanzania, the firm has operations in Kenya, Uganda, Malawi, Mozambique, Zambia, Rwanda, Burundi and South Africa. The decision to suspend flour exports to Kenya comes just weeks after the KRA detained its truckload of flour at Namanga border.
The flour, under Azam brand, is made of wheat imported under East Africa’s 10 per cent duty remission scheme.
While the same scheme is available to Kenya’s flour processors, KRA has lately imposed 25 per cent duty on such products, ostensibly on reciprocal response to similar treatment of palm and industrial sugar-based products from Nairobi by the Tanzania Revenue Authority.
Mr Billo said the tax dispute has wrecked the firm’s bottomline as duty demanded per truck of goods has increased six times.
“We have decided to suspend further export of wheat flour to Kenya until the dispute is fully resolved”, Mr Billo said, adding the group’s subsidiary in Nairobi is however continuing with its normal operations.
Sources have however intimated to the Business Daily that the row between the KRA and Bakhresa extends beyond the bilateral tax disputes.
KRA is said to have revaluated the firm’s products on suspicion that it has been exploiting the transfer pricing loophole to cut its tax liability.
Tanzania firm halts Kenya flour exports over tax changes
MY TAKE
80% of confectioneries r made of sugar and the decision by GoK to allow it's producers to import industrial sugar duty free is a conspiracy towards other sugar manufacturers in the region. Plse JPM do sth to counter this exploitative tendencies by Kenya. No need to allow this anymore!
Your looking into narrow lens of KQ, you can't compare full Emrate, Etihad KLM A320 or A330 with those mickey mouse aircraft Embraer.Uneconomical is flying a half empty flight to Dar.
200 board in London.
150 of them heading to Nairobi.
50 of them heading all the way to Dar.
In Nairobi, the flight picks up 70 more. Alternatively those heading to Dar are transferred to another plane.
It arrives in dar with 120 passengers.
If it left London for Dar direct, it would have carried just 50 passengers.
ATCL nayo?Your looking into narrow lens of KQ, you can't compare full Emrate, Atihard KLM A320 or A330 with those mickey mouse aircraft Embraer.
Ipo, unataka free ticket?ATCL nayo?
Hahahaha, Tulikataa tourists visa, tukakataa EPA, tukakataa kutumia National IDs, tumekataa kufungua Bologojo entry point, tumekataa LAPSET, vyote mumeshindwa kuendelea navyo, taja eneo moja katika EAC ambapo Kenya ilikataa kushiriki lakini TZ ikakubali na likashindikana kufanyika. Without TZ, there is nor EAC huo ndio ukweli japo unaumiza.Punguza propaganda za CCM. Mighty Kenya has never bowed down to Tanzania.
Ujinga ni kusema ati without Tanzania there is no EAC. Are you implying that without Kenya there would be EAC?
You're only forced by geographical circumstances to be in EAC.
Otherwise in EAC you hold no title. You trail Kenya in everything. We are USA and you are our Mexico.
Haiya is that so, JKIA records double all their airports combined.....hehehe hawa mivivu sijui nani kawaroga.
Actually tukiondoa JKIA na nyie muondoe JNIA bado tuko mbele yenu. Let me give you the figures.Source please?
All I know is Qatar and others fly to more than one destination in TZ (JNIA, KIA and Abeid Karume) unlike nyie mkiondoa tu JKIA basi hamna kitu!

Washaanza kulia. Wanayaanza alafu wanageuza eti sisi ndio tumeyaanza wakishazidiwa.😂😂😂😂😂Niliyasema haya juzi juzi tu mlipokuwa mkifurahia serikali yenu ilipoongeza ushuru kwa maziwa ya Brookside hadi asilimia 1000. Nikawaeleza kwamba hivi karibuni Bhakresa ataanza kulialia, baada ya kujionea kwa macho yangu mwenyewe mzigo wake kwenye matrela zaidi ya thelathini umekwama pale Namanga kwa zaidi ya mwezi mmoja. Hivi vita visivyokuwa na tija ambavyo vinaenezwa sanasana kutoka ikulu ya Tz mwisho wa siku havitakuwa na mbabe yeyote yule. Hasara itakuwa kwa wanabiashara, watanzania kwa wakenya, ambao wanajaribu tu kujiendeleza kwa njia halali na kwa jasho lao. Wazee wa ndemi na mathathi walisema sikio la kufa halisikii dawa. Mengine mengi yapo njiani yaja.
