Guys - come off it - The SAA adventure was seriously loss making, as was the brief period the A330 flew in my part of the world.
In a period when virtually all long haul airlines have excess capacity sub lease rates plummet - only those with seriously written down equipment can hope to make any money out of it (a certain Icelandic airline comes to mind, as does a certain 747 operator out of BOH). It was probably a great success operationally, but profit wise - it probably lost less money than a Manchester self operated service. Remember the EI 767 operation in Mexico? - a similar story that cost the airline a fortune in a less depressed period than this one.
Another problem with Miami is the lack of a strong Star Alliance base there - and the lack of high yielding traffic to those markets.
I'm waiting to hear that BMIbaby is profitable also, just like Buzz was!
