Wacha Kirubi aanze kubonga tena ati ‘watu wa Nyanza…’

na hii airline mpya advertised by Maina Ka-gay-ni leo asubui kwa soap opera fm claiming is the new cheap/affordable airline ni gani? meanwhile, waiting for kirubis comment.

My take is it simply did not carry enough passengers as planes flew 50% booked due to obstinate booking rules. If you are low cost, charge low cost to everyone all the time. That story of book early to qualify did them in
