It's still down on where it was 5 years ago, I believe. A good friend works there and he's survived the different cuts etc, but he said he's very limited on ways up the company due to lack of opportunity. It's heavily propped up by the Gov, too. Until Russian airspace opens, it will struggle to be competitive. It's unique value add before was the ability to operate Asian routes daily with one frame, i.e. they could keep a 24 hour schedule using the same frame because it could get there and back on time, something the other European countries couldn't. Without that advantage they'll struggle to compete on important, profitable routes.
