The big issue the narrator forgot to mention is Ethiopian Airlines has been profitable at least for the last decade ,while the other airlines have been losing money big time.On the last year Kenyan Airways lost the biggest amount of money ever in its company history. The other thing is aircraft type , number, routes and cargo capability ,which especially save Ethiopian from losing money on the last Civid19 pandemic year. Ethiopian Airlines is the only African operator which flies the ultramodern Airbus350-900 and Boeing 787-8 ,9 aircrafts.It has 9 B777F cargo planes for its freight routes and working on to launch The biggest and most modern airport in Africa . Now since it already achieved the 2025 plan ,its planning to start Project 2035. with an aim to increase its fleet number to more than 200 young and ultramodern aircraft and give Qatar Airways ,Emirates and Turkish Airlines a big challenge ,at least on The African Market. Anyway thanks for this nice Subsaharan Africa Airlunes comparism.

I'm Kenyan but I must say I've been impressed with Ethiopian Airlines. I realized that their foundation is more than just about profits. They are purpose driven and it shows in their extensive operations. If you look at their inner structures and policies. (The story of how the airline started says alot about where they are today and their philosophy) Kenya airways has great potential, but is seriously affected by certain factors that I would rather not mention. For both RSA and Kenya, it also seems to be a national problem that ends up affecting the airlines ultimately, but things are changing and will improve.

[@lowstars]

Alright, as I aviator, I can strongly agree that Ethiopian is the Pride of Africa Why may you ask? Ethiopian airlines have cheap tickets ex ICN - NBO is one thousand dollars than other airlines. The service on Ethiopian is outstanding I'd say which is great for an airline. Ethiopian Airlines has massive fleet like a lot of aircrafts on service that KQ which has 32 Aircrafts on Service and less destinations which isn't great for an airline. For KQ, these days, they are striking a lot of pilots which they lose millions of KSH and dollars which can be heavily invested on flights nor fleet. Ethiopian has the largest fleet in Africa as an International airline which is very successful of them. As they put lower prices, it's a very successful technique as if you sell things cheap, you get a lot of customers which helps you your carrier and build up more until you earn lots of dollars. Ethiopian Airlines - 16.8 billion USD per year Kenya Airways - N/A but lost over $145M in 2021 This statistic shows that Ethiopian Airlines makes more revenue than Kenya Airways which makes Ethiopian Airlines successful airline.

[@ianmaritim3876]

Kenya Airways problem started since project Mawingu. And FYI we could be the lauch customer of the Dreamliner if it wasn't for further reviews into the project. I am a kenyan and it enjoys me to see Kenya Airways' plane land in JKIA especially the B787-8. But it really has to rework its strategies. How can you dominate Africa with Embraer jets really while our competitor is using bigger jets. Too late to complain though, it has already happened. But its a pleasure to see Long Haul by Simple Flying review African airlines. And it makes me happy more to see Kenya Airways.

Very interesting. The untapped potential within Africa is immense. Both from passengers outside the continent and within. That sets up the potential for both transcontinental carriers and smaller continental carriers to exploit. West Africa is painfully underrepresented. That said, the country Im reasonably well acquainted with, Ghana, is currently executing a program of major airport development. Kotoka in Accra is the major hub for West Africa with a new terminal while Kumasi and Tamale are both currently under development transforming them from small national airports into international airports. A plan exists to restart a govt owned Ghanaian carrier underwritten by EgyptAir, but ill believe that one when I see it. I can only see huge expansion within Africa economically which has to be good for the continent and air travel will follow on the back of this.

the audio as always is very low. Please put up the volume of narration.

[@samuelsetargew9504]

Wow, very nice info.. on African aviation history and current status and standings. Like to watch more.

[@avuazahc1966]

Correction : SAA no longer has A340 in its fleet.

[@teemurytkonen5031]

Good video! Similar about South America?

[@reubenmusyoka3192]

I love your content. Please be sharing more on African Airlines since they also participate in the global aviation arena.

[@tewodorll6596]

Both SAA or Egypt air even Kenyan were founded by Britain ,because they were colonized countries but the only airway in Africa independently founded and free African airway by the time and still now too is Ethiopian Airlines!! So it makes it the 1st older airline in Africa too!!!

[@danielabraham5901]

Man stop. I am Ethiopian, but the facts are that the Americans helped a lot. The airlines had to deal with American leadership for a decade before they start managing things.

[@tewodorll6596]

@@danielabraham5901 stop yourself bro.The thing is if we say there was 'some' help it was from swedish not American .Recheck ur facts!

[@antony6799]

Kenya airways was founded in 1977 by the government, the British left in 1963

[@danielabraham5901]

@@tewodorll6596 my point is stop saying "independently founded." About the facts, I beg you to read before spewing nonsense. Check wiki atleast.

[@danielabraham5901]

@@antony6799 Kenya airways is an outgrowth from the East African Airways? I can be corrected on that. I think that airline was established during colonial times. I think that is what the guy is alluding to.

[@waedidmyhandlechange]

Unfortunately, SAA's base is just too far south to be any good as a cross-continental hub. It can't realistically bring in masses of important connecting passengers like Istanbul, Dubai, or Doha. I can see SAA prosper in its region, but internationally, it'll be very tough.

[@richardolr1770]

Haha why is there a footage from FSX at 9:50?

[@epictraveller9895]

I miss SAA 😢 This is what happens when you give a Good company to the Wrong hands! It can be saved with new honestly management! Not the ones now who is stealing from the company

[@samuelwandja7839]

Ethiopian Airlines is the biggest Best Buy in Africa it is so great I tried it before 100% top notch I love Ethiopian Airlines you did a great job

[@ayandampolweni17]

All 3 African Airlines have something unique to offer, personally I think we should celebrate their diversity and perhaps look at collaboration,This is Africa the pie is enough for everyone to enjoy .EU and Us airlines are meeting while we are busy criticising one another.

[@licious4633]

I am Kenyan but for me Ethiopian airlines is far more better.I had the best experience with Ethiopian airlines.

[@ericjones7769]

I think Ethiopian Airlines is a neat airline and hope to see them become a worldwide powerhouse like Emirates and Qatar Airways!!!! Wish and hope all the best for Ethiopian Airlines 👊👊👊👊👊👊✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻

[@djaashtube7802]

There's no battle, its only Ethiopian leading the market.

[@benhandelsman7360]

I think long term SAA will take over Ethiopian(under the right leadership) simply because of politics and South Africa’s economy and tourism

[@sykewtf9820]

SAA is back on the skies now and it has made a profit for the first time after God knows how many years, i guess it just made a comeback.

[@davec1615]

Egypt Air is quite big too. And what about the other airlines that aren't African but are big in Africa. Air France, Turkish airlines, Emirates?
