KQ-Ethiopian Airlines Debate Rages On One More Time. And Kenyans Surrender!
The national courier has been on the receiving end ever since it announced a mega loss of 25.7 billion shillings.
While Kenya Airways recorded the historic loss, Ethiopian Airlines posted a $ 175 million profit exceeding its revenue targets.
But how come? Apparently the cross border airline is charging it customers way lower fare compared to our courier.
Fare comparison between KQ and Ethiopian Airlines indicates the latter is almost charging half the price of what the former charges its customers flying the same route.
This new revelation once again made Kenyans jump on the neck of KQ. Folks were bitter with the ‘Pride of Africa’ courier cursing it with the loudest voice ever heard.
See some of the comments posted below:
The Kenyan airline has seen its losses grow by more than 600 per cent from the $28.9 million loss it posted in 2014, pushing its cumulative losses in the past three years to $442 million.

Wycliffe Onyalo: The last time I flew KQ, they refused to serve me tusker. I had missed tusker so much I just wanted to taste one on the plane. An argument ensued and ever since I have gone Ethiopian. The worst part is that I saw the KQ air hostesses parking drinks into their large handbags and roll-ons. I felt disgusted. My patriotism didn’t allow me accept mediocre services.
Bex Benson: Kq services is horrible, you book a flight 2 or 1 month in advance n they always fail to deliver their words, they literally sell out your seat n postpone your flight,that’s greediness for money.
