    Good Luck Cargolux, I hope that all these numbers, presented without comparison, are not just a marketing gimmick ..but the more I read them the more I get the impression this is just marketing crap. Or perhaps because it’s not clear without comparisons up to November. I do hope the classical error has not been made here by the fantastic new management … in other words 3 percent more tonnage does not necessarily mean more revenues, if costs increase by close to 9 percent in the form of more hours? And are we talking about the same number of aircraft in the fleet in November 13 versus November 14 – so this performance does not need 22 aircraft? ROI would be of interest to know now …good luck!
