Easily to see lot of money to be made.
Generating revenue is not the same as "making money".
Virtually any airline can manage to be profitable in the peak season, but even Ryanair has historically lost money in the off season. The challenge is to have a cost base which will keep the losses to manageable levels. For a relatively small carrier, that's a big challenge.
