A full cabin is never a guarantee of strong revenues / profits.

Reports are, for the airline industry. international ticket prices (unfortunately not separate by cabin) are down 40-50% and the volume of tickets are down a similar 40-50%, so international revenues are down 60-70%

So such significantly lower revenues do not support the expense for a small group of passengers, yet. What that point is I don't know and all projections are leisure travel is going to cut back in September and business, once hoped to return in September, is probably still 2-3-4 months out if then.
