Aren’t these changes just another part of the cost saving measures?

The upcoming program changes represent sensible enhancements to the program. The M&M program requires a structure appropriate to the economic environment, and especially the cost/benefit ratio must be considered. It is Important for us to improve the attractiveness for our most important target customers — the frequent flyers who fly primarily with the fully integrated partners of M&M. In the future we want to expand benefits according to the volume of flights on these airlines.
