the (just) 9 billion HK$ increase in revenue about covers the increase in fuel..so with that out of the way and assuming a zero balance in that department..why is the airline not up there with last years' profits figures?
the increase in staff,overflights,handling etc came to less than 1 billion hk.
of course throwing 60 million USD at the FAA didn't help..
but with fuel surcharges and increased fares..i don't see a half billion dollar loss with the 'stated ' increase in fuel bill.
