So does anyone know if this is for real, or just another money grabbing scheme??

Hope not...could be awesome!

I would like to think that this will succeed.

I fear that the reality of it starting and being sustainable is about as likely as this ..............

or just another money grabbing scheme

No, just unrealistic.

Don't say that KAS are spreading their wings? That would be something to watch with interest.

If you look at the 747 on the homepage, you can tell they painted over it using a photo editor. It is a picture of a quantas 747 but they painted over top the kangaroo. Definitely a scam

It is in the public domain that the a/c will be ex-QF 747-400s. There is nothing sinister in that, just not really commercially viable.

And entirely coincidental on the movement of the whole London based operation of De Beers from London to Gaberone in November which will see the Botswana capital become the centre for annual rough diamond sales of $3.7 billion?

Well observed CC, very good point. It may happen, but not holding breath. Is it just one jet planned at the moment?

Shame that MUB is not on the schedule but we are still a bit short of TODA, a terminal and as reported in this week's Ngami times; baggage trolleys

And stairs.
Will look up the pic I saw of the A320 being unloaded via refuellers ladders on the back of a truck.
