Thanks Guys,
Jeff it was interesting to see that Air France are back to norm, and with the aid of discount fairs as FFF correctly commented then things seem to be looking a lot better for the flying industry.
It would be good to know about the routes which have been side lined, I doubt we will see some of them back due to the fact they were loss making. As for the aircraft in the desert if things keep picking up then some of them will have to come back especially with the lead times involved in getting new aircraft.
Thanks again for your replies.
