For KQ (which apparently GoK holds 75% and not 23% as many of us believe), he has a solution for their eroded cargo revenue. He will make sure KQ export miraa from Meru. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TaIN_4OpVU<BR/><BR/>Riiiggghhhhht.MainaThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12266497232119983697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37479680.post-72853943877984664002007-10-30T05:28:00.000+00:002007-10-30T05:28:00.000+00:00JM-That is my worry.

When things improved, I think they took their foot of the accelerator so to speak.<BR/>LM-I think GoK can help by speeding up work on JKIA. <BR/>Ssem-The Africa routes are lucrative, but what are KQ doing to raise the entry barriers for others. They'd need to improve their customer service to attract the business traveller.

African routes seem to be lucrative. <BR/><BR/>If KQ wants to conquer Europe they need to attract business travellers. You can imagine how much money BA and virgin are raking flying corporate travellers to and from London. May be they should introduce a gatwick flight to cater for US tourists connecting through gatwick instead of them having to fly through Dubai.The Black Mambahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13093261923557991519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37479680.post-37784869693829606472007-10-27T21:53:00.000+01:002007-10-27T21:53:00.000+01:00Government should be able to intervene.
