Hi Johnson - the main issue is that this is the first time that any of the Chinese built Embraers are being leased out of the country. We did not expect the delays to be as long as they have been but we are hoping to have things settled soon.

With regards competition in the region, we are very interested to see how things pan out with the other new entrants. We are confident that our model of targeting markets with 50-seat jets is distinctly different from the proposed higher density operation that has received media attention lately. There is enough room for multiple quality operators to coexist in a market that is growing as quickly as West Africa, at least in the short term.
