Ms Lynne Embleton:

We did not have a crystal ball. Having been effectively grounded for two years, we were not entirely clear what the demand was going to look like. What we wanted to do, however, was to get Aer Lingus up and running and flying again and, therefore, we committed to that schedule. As I said, we planned and resourced for the schedule. It was never our intention, though, to fly empty aircraft. We expected those aircraft to be filled, particularly during the summer peak. We had less confidence around the shorter periods, but we were confident that there was built-up leisure demand. Our assumption was that we would provide the capacity to service that market. We were looking at other industry data that showed a 100% industry restoration was unlikely to happen in 2022. We took the view, however, that a 90% recovery was going to be a fair assumption for 2022. I reiterate that we were never intending to fly empty aircraft. With the capacity came the expectation we would fill it. Last week's load factors, that is, the percentage of seats filled, was around 90%, which is healthy for this time of year.
