Kenya Airways and NBO To Merge into One Company

Thu Jun 21, 2018 2:15 am

This seems wrong for all the other airlines, although I guess it exists in other places.

State-run national flag carrier Kenya Airways plans to merge with Nairobi Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) to compete with other state-owned carriers in Africa and the Middle East, such as Ethiopian Airlines and Emirates Airline.

“The deal should be completed by the end of the year, which is gaining an instrument against competition,” Kenya Airways CEO Sebastian Mikosz told ATW.

The two state-controlled companies are being brought together under one holding. “This move will help us grow our Nairobi hub,” Mikosz said.

Seems like KQ will finally be profitable when they dont have to pay fees at their only hub.

Hopefully it doesn’t end up with KQ and/or the Kenyan government deciding to stop other airlines flying into NBO, let alone jacking up airport usage fees for airlines other than KQ.

Maybe the Kenyan government should also look at geting a Kenyan based aviation fuel company merged into KQ for cheap or free fuel?
