Same hotels, same landing fees, same fuel prices, same navigation charges, etc. but cheaper tickets. No better utilisation as LH and at the mercy of 3rd party engineering, catering, check-in and so on.
I wish them the best but the business model seemed to be based mostly on hope? What has changed significantly since MK I became MK II?
well for a start , the aircraft are power by the hour , rather than a million quid a month
