"This is a remarkable achievement considering Fuel comprised 42% of costs (30% in 2007). We managed these results on the back of yield improvement of 11% and reducing our Cost per ASK by 20%. We have worked hard to bring our CASK excluding fuel down to US 3.5 cents by a robust cost management program. This has allowed us to turn around our 1H losses. We have now registered more than 3 million passengers and have also added an additional 2 Aircrafts recently. We expect robust performance in the fourth quarter where fuel has decreased by 50% and we enter into the busiest travel months in the year."
