“We find that the markets we serve are responding very positively to this new capacity. That is evidenced by the fact that after continued weakness in October which pulled down our overall quarterly performance, our RASK numbers have improved in November and December. We are building a very strong platform for a sustainable future growth and profitability,” Rahul Bhatia, Interim CEO and Co-Founder said in a statement.
