Kenya airways direct flight to NY

Kenya Airways has cut down on the number of direct flights to US barely a month after launching the nonstop flights.

The national carrier has attributed the cut down on low bookings due to the winter season that has kicked off abroad.

The flights reduction will affect November to March.

Didn’t we all forsee this??

Why are u raining on chupilees parade this early in the morning?

Two weeks later. This flight to JFK only had 45 passengers on board

Alas demand hakuna tena

You are an enemy of development, always whining. Eh? :smiley:

Hii tulisema.

If it’s winter over there, all the more reason the return flight should be booked weeks on end as folks escape the bad weather.

ile kirende yote ilikuwa joyriders tu

winter is time for serious work, school are on going, plus thanksgiving and Christmas are around the corner. time for fami;y gatherings.

Wako wapi wale jubilee psychopants tuwacheke? This thing was not sustainable!

Na vile hatukupumua hiyo siku ya Inaugaral flight

Daily flights were overambitious once or twice weekly is tenable

Part of business ups and down, but KQ should have been more professional and not political. The moment they accepted the government sweet stories in all this that is where they didn’t do thorough research n make fully business decisions of numbers, destination, prices.
I believe government iliwashow, ‘iko nini, tweendeeee hapana gopaa brooo’

ilikua shamra shamra ya muda,someone mentioned it here if i remember well .wacha tuone march vile itakua…45 people? overflight fee in tonnage close to 11k ndorras,parking fee ya $5K,ngataa close to $60k for the 14hr trip,maintainance after every 14hours,flight crew pay…hii ni hasara tupu buana hata kama kila mtu alilipa $2K

… alafu wakawalipa tickets zote za flight ya kwanza

Wekeni stats za how often the alternative route was used and the numbers through the year then tuongee
I would like to believe walikua wamefanya market study before doing campaigns to be allowed a direct route(though this is Kenya, won’t be shocked if they didn’t)
Think it is too early to judge

This was expected to happen, announce daily flights then cut down citing vialibility reason,

I foresee then reducing to once or twice a month.

The mistake that KQ was about to make was making the flights daily. That was outright unsustainable. If they keep like 2 weekly flights, then i can assure you, the planes will always be more than 80% full, to and fro.

Hiyo analysis ilifanywa hapa, ya kusave almost 60,000 bob by using a connecting flight, just explained vile hii flight was bound to fail. Ata kama wewe ni mbirrionaire, 60k is a lot of money just to arrive 13 hours earlier.

KQ will just maintain it juu ya PR, akina spear wakuwe na kazi. But hii flight ingekuwa ya a rational thinking company like Equity, haingewai take off.

Heheheeee kirende ya kina Waititu, fully paid for by the government

It was about time.
