Shame because they were the only airline to really make an effort to get to know those that have an interest in aviation other than just paying passengers.
Bit I don’t understand is why lo co long hauls go bust but the short hauls tend to survive (ish).
OK a fuel increase hits a lo co as a % of earnings higher than a premium airline. But if your load factors are OK then it shouldn’t matter whether you are short or long haul. Or do you pay more per mile per seat on a short haul and hence more profit, even for a lo co?
