It is an addition of 6 for the summer, followed by a reduction of 10 for the winter. Which ties in with my next point.
2. They are short of capacity in the summer. Winter doesn't seem to be as big an issue for them. Even this winter, with high passenger volume compared to previous winters, the fleet is not being stretched to its limit. This is proven by 3 A380 routes for 8 aircraft, 5-6 A346 routes for 10 aircraft and 2-3 744 routes for 8 aircraft.

This is not even factoring in new deliveries of Allegris A359s and A35Ks. I won't count the 787s because they don't have F. My point is, I think they will be well-equipped for winter 25/26 without the 10 A346s.
