KQ sticks to Boeing plan despite Ethiopia crash

[Mandesy]

Kenya Airways will not cancel its orders for the Boeing 737-800 Max jets that have been grounded globally after suffering two fatal crashes in five months, chairman Michael Joseph has said.
The national carrier is planning to order up to 10 of the planes worth an estimated Sh120 billion ($1.2 billion).
Indonesian airline Garuda Indonesia on Friday became the first carrier to publicly announce the cancellation of its Sh600 billion ($6 billion) order for 49 Boeing 737 Max 8 jets, citing a loss of passenger trust following the two crashes.

“The only option that we have planned for is the Boeing 737-800 Max because this will make it easier for us to conduct training and maintenance of the aircraft,” said Mr Joseph in an interview with the Business Daily.

Labda kama wamepewa offer ya nyongeza ya ndege, ili wawasafishie boing njia, sidhani kama maelezo na maamuzi ya wakenya yatatoa ushawishi kwa ulimwengu, ni jambo la kusubiri na kulipa muda.

Hamna tatizo apo. Bila shaka hizo new order zitakuwa na fix already kwaio zitakuwa safe kama ndege nyengine.

Boeing ni wazalishaji bora wa ndege hapa duniani ...

Ndege ni Airbus tu,,Boeing wamekata sana kona kwenye issue ya ubora na usalama wa hiyo model wakati wa uzalishaji.
