Gunship,
(ahead of even Kenya Airways !)

i haven't posted in a while but couldn't resist a rejoinder. actally KQ is a quality airline, they have almost killed off SAA on the Joburg-Nairobi route with two flights a day that are upgraded over the weekends to 767/777. I think the travelling public are voting with their feet. In addition KQ became the first subsaharan carrier to get IOSA certification ahead of SAA.

Did you know that KQ is the preferred wildlife carrier out of SA? Every weekend there is a lot of SA wildlife transiting through NBO on its way to Europe, the Middle East and Far East, destinations where SAA flies to. This is very telling as the exporters are South African.

Regards,
