These are just skeletal fares..there will be much meat added to them as the day approaches..am sure there will be a myriaid of conditions.Late booking surcharges, Seat choice fee,luggage fees, meal charges, toilet usage fees(hehe!)..internet usage, mobile phone usage...etc etc

I find ity dubious that KA has planned to start this LCC with old bangers 733..yes they have pretty much depreciated and it doesn't cost them extra crew costs as they are all KA employees. Cost savings by KA not-with-standing the underlying premise for LCC economics is high Volumes of sales at low cost.This demands upwards of 11 hours per day in aircraft utilization!. Will the 733 cope with this demand in the long term without compromising despatch reliability?? I bet its a tempo interim solution just to ward off 540's escalation(they have extra CRJs panned to operate from around same time April fool's day)..and FastJet's expansion. Jambo Jet is used as "KQ" ngao(shield) against the predators like 540 and Fast....same dirty tricks were used to ward off the initial LCC that never took off..One Jet One
