Without wishing to pee on anybody's parade, I'm reliably informed that though our ZB load factors are ok, the yields are so low, that we're not actually making
any money.
With inflation, particularly mortgage rates, gradually on the increase, people's belts are being tightened in a notch and that affects the holiday plans of the public.
With all the tech a/c , A330 repair costs, shi.te long haul product ruining our charter reputation, etc etc, I'll personally just be glad if Monarch are paying my mortgage next year.
