Actually the strike at NBO airport the past days are partially rooted in employees of Kenya Airports thinking KQ are being mismanaged and mis-spending funds.
You - of course - have valid points.
All I'm saying is that KQ is hardly making great money...
My argument is that the original complaint does not make much sense. The quoted price is not that high. For a full-service airline, selling USD350 return tickets mixed with connecting traffic on a 665km sector in an environment that is not exactly low cost - well, I don't think that can be a huge money maker. This comes with the caveat that I have no idea re KQ's CASK for that sector.
