Here the proof of what you call false allegations:

"Het dient ten slotte opgemerkt dat de voorlopige resultaten voor het eerste trimester 2003 een gecumuleerd verlies ten belope van 30 mio EUR vertonen. Deze situatie is te wijten aan het feit dat het aantal passagiers op de Europese lijnen en de yield op het Afrikaanse netwerk lager is dan voorzien."
quote unquote

Translated it reads: Finally, it has to be brought to the attention that the preliminary results for the first quarter of 2003 show a cumulated loss of 30 million EUR. This situation is caused by the number of passengers on European routes and the yield on the African network are lower than foreseen.

Quite worrying

I didn't question the fact that a carrier might make some loss during the first year of operation. But you will understand that issuing conflicting messages of such importance by different senior officials like yourself and some administrators can raise people's eyebrowes.

Ending the discussion like SpokespersonSN does is an easy way out, but does not explain why he is stating something different than what is told in the annual report.
