40 years plus of experience yet speaks so humbly, kudos Captain Joseph Kinuthia .

My first flight was with KQ from JKIA in Nairobi to Heathrow airport in London. It was a very smooth flight. Congratulations our senior pilot. Happy retirement when the time comes.

flying part didn't got my attention like to find out that buda yuko na ka 65...tafathalini vijana tujiangalieni,some of us r between 25 and 30 but almost look like the captain here..anyway congrats to Mr kinuthia

The Capt. is sixty-five and looks like he could be in his forties.

You made us proud!!...you did what you do so well!! ..asante pilot!!...

Cpt. Kinuthia....congrats. But I did my simulation 3 months ago!!!!

Not too long ago the age of 62 was the retirement age for airline pilots. The age was extended until 65 mostly due to medical advancements and recognition that older pilots with experience are well qualified. However, it is my understanding that the first officer must be of a younger age as a compensating factor.

Thank you for this interview. Now we know we have qualified pilots. Experts are never featured. The press has only been featuring "The lady who will fly 787 from NBI to JFK". Kenyan media love to highlight "kenyan flying girls". With horror stories of two girls flying low into the mountains. Believe it or not, people trust a man in control more. You will have more customers because of this interview.

U missed the point.... The whole big deal about this is simply marketing the route, KQ knows who is likely to fly that route and has drummed the news non-stop so they can get enough business. From the surface it might look like it's celebration of a new route but underneath it is all marketing... pretty smart if you asked me.

He started flying when he was 21 yrs old😳 did he do 8-4-4 Education system?

experience is in you and where are you heading to and you look young brother train young men and women

Nice feature. However, it would've been better with the actual 787 cockpit footage and not the E190 one as shown.

What is KQ, you have to say it all for everybody to understand.
