I think it’s more they are looking at doing such routes once or twice a week. They think it’s feasible at once or twice a week. I don’t believe that’s the case but that’s all out of the Bonza playbook.

They want to offer 50% the amount of routes Jetstar fly but with 90% less aircraft. They will do that by flying once or twice a week. That’s a pretty small market or non existent market they are chasing.
