In airline what matters is Aircraft leases, Fuel, Maintenance parts , and 3rd party handling .
Now when people talk of supplying KQ what do they mean ?
(1) LEASES.
How many Aircrafts does KQ lease?
Who leases them and at what rates?
What type of lease are they?
(2) FUEL
I've just checked in the last financial year 2021.Unless corrected Kenya airways revenues were 70BN.How much of that money was spent on fuel?
Who supplies KQ with fuel?
How many Kilometres did the plane cover?What type of Planes does KQ have and their fuel consumption?
(3) MAINTAINANCE.
What type of Aircrafts does KQ Operate?What is their const of maintaince? Remember,The older the machine,the higher the cost of maintainance.Who supplies the aircraft parts?
(4) 3rd Party Handling.
Who provides these services to KQ in different airports globally and at what Rates?
(5) LABOUR COST
Out of the 70BN KQ revenues in 2021 financial year,How much did KQ spend on Manpower.
(6) SERVICES.
Who provides KQ with financial services (FX hedging on fuel and credit services) Insurance and Legal services and at what rates?
There is nothing difficult here.PURE COMMON SENSE.
KQ is like Kenya Mpya or City Hoppa...Equity Bank gives you a loan to buy Isuzu NQR bus from General motors.Then you join a Sacco and pay County and TLB.Then hand over your bus to driver and Conductor... CORRELATION...If Equity banks gives you expensive loan to buy an Isuzu FRR which consumes more instead of an Isuzu NQR which consumes less and the bus has more than one driver and three conductors and at the same time Directline insurance offers you comprehensive insurance at a higher cost..then you are out of business.that is what happens at KQ.
