I think there are so few central European (business) transit pax left for Finnair today that they don’t need to think too much. They can of course attract some Europeans with low(er) prices but few of those care about earnings anyway.

Also, many of those who are flying AY might anyway be crediting to BA etc already today so they don’t care, just book on price? In Scandinavia it might be different for OW flyers..?

Anyway, in spend based model it’s impossible to continue to reward same way as in the segment game.. no matter how they do it..

Again, I’m just observing and assessing, not taking any stand what’s good or bad. Killing segment count statuses is good, there I take a stand, in favor of AY.
