While it looks on the surface like "major" expansion - its a lot of smoke and mirrors to build up
PR for these bases. 1 based A/C with 1 new route just says to me its a lot of "asset moving" from base to base rather than major expansion. Its the same in EDI where it looks to only be 6 based (same as last year, down on 2 years ago) and PIK...as well as EMA.
With 8 A/C deliveries left there is no real expansion left, just moving assets from base to base...
Major expansion will come with the next A/C order.
