Sounds good to me. India seems to yield consistently high load factors and hopefully that means profitability (since high loads don't necessarily equate the same in terms of profits). I am also looking forward to some news of service to China, which seems to be where the future lays. I know there is significant demand and traffic between China and Sudan, but I wonder whether there are plans for additional African destinations.
I also wonder whether the talks for additional A320's are for the standard 320 model or whether we are looking at variations such as the 319's or 321's? It seems to me that 319's with their longer range might be an ideal tool for opening up more distant destinations (long/thin), and could also be efficiently used on some of the short-range sectors when loads are low on some routes.
