Business travellers who only usually travel during the week, but airlines will you see noticed that these flights aren’t as busy as they would like; hence the increase in airfares to try and mitigate a profitable service."

I truly don't know what to make of this -- again putting all kidding aside.

I guess "and monks" means "amongst"? I really don't know what "you will see noticed" is supposed to mean. Or what "mitigate a profitable service" means.

I won't comment on the rest since (for obvious reasons) I didn't read it . . . .

But again, what has Boarding Area come to?

I do want to be fair, but clearly something has gone very, very wrong.
Probably drafted with voice recognition software and uploaded without proofing. The "and monks" mistake looks exactly like the kind of mistake I see (fortunately, very rarely these days) when using Dragon NaturallySpeaking.
