passare da 133.00 a 181.000 anno su anno di pax trasportati, da 79,3 a 88,1 di LF sempre anno su anno dello stesso periodo e migliorare i riempimenti in tutte le classi di servizio, direi ottimo risultato davvero.
Ottimi anche i dati sul nuovo volo su FCO che anche se si riferiscono a una media di solo 4 giorni fanno capire è partito alla grande.
