Just in relation to comments about the new aircraft...
I'd say they got a super deal... The Max is coming so the current 738 model will be in decline.. Hence being replaced by Max? As a result I'd guess due to end of life of production they may have gotten deal broadly comparable to Ryanair.... Though thats debatable.. Clearly on the new model they wouldn't get the Ryanair deal.. Whatever it is..
My question still is about utilisation. What about Winter? Change or strategy? More business ops? Currently they are to all intents and purposes holiday package airline with city break and summer sun routes... They've relied on low cost fleet so aircraft could stay on the ground all winter.....!
