"The mandate I have is to consolidate and like any good shareholder they want to see tha airline break even and make a return. That's the clear brief I have," said Hogan, the Australian-born former Gulf Air chief executive. "We haven't published any figures, but you can imagine, starting up with an airline as we have, there are a lot of capital costs. It's not in profit yet, but there is a clear mandate to bring it to break-even and profitability."
When (and how) does he expect to do that? "We haven't made that public yet. I'll tell the shareholders first and then I'll tell you."
Talk is cheap and seeing is believing. What furniture does Etihad have that he can sell?
