Why is AFKL so complacent?
Is EUR 1,800 for two transatlantic business class tickets sustainable in the long run ? This strikes me more as something akin to desperation for an airline that is extremely reliant on transatlantic premium traffic and who suffered a 17% decline in premium traffic last month.

Still, until we have the same type of data from the three majors, this is pure conjecture on my part.
