Minardi is only part of the European Organisation which has at last count around 6 other companies. So if one is not doing well it is usually off set by another. Air Charter seems to be doing as well asever 5 x 747s in operation at moment all planned to be flying in the future. 737s working non-stop at moment, actually not enough aircraft to operate programme. Minardi situation seems to be an internal argument within F1. Eaac has gone through a massive change over past months (747 operational within 6 weeks of purchase). This of course will cause strain for a shorthaul operator. As for the operating below cost Easyjet epitomises Low cost and they seem to be doing ok!
