I've been saying this for months now. GF never will or can be profitable. But so what. IB talks about tourism and business as well as opening loss making routes. They should never have closed those routes. Are there not businessmen from Asia and tourists from Australia with Middle Eastern ancestry? As far as Indian labourers go, this time next year Jet and Kingfisher will both be flying to the Gulf so i predict a massive downturn in that market for GF, and the rest of the Gulf carriers as well.
