If I look at the timeline, I have little doubt that the staff involved in this event acted to limit the financial damage for the airline, knowing that this would result in discomfort for the passengers.

Few weeks ago, the captain of a LAM (Mozambique) waited till his co-pilot left him alone in the cockpit (also for a toilet break) to lock himself in the cockpit. He didn't asked for asylum in Switserland though, but crashed the brand new E195 in nearby Botswana, killing the 30 passengers and crew. A...

@Flanker2: you might want to take a look on a worldmap before you continue with all your China to Africa via Brussels theories. And 14 frequencies to Asia on 2 A330s? Maybe have a look at the online timetable of Lufthansa, Air France or British Airways (beware of the time difference ). All that I w...

Good numbers and I hope that it will help SN out to reduce their losses to a sustainable level. It's going to be hard to keep track of how much of the growth will be owed to FR/VY in the coming months.
