Q: Are you going to add more routes?

A: We constantly look for opportunities and ways to expand our network. Assuming plane delivery is in schedule and our on-going discussions with multiple Government agencies yield favourable results, we aim to introduce between 15 to 20 routes in every year. Most of these routes will be cross-connecting our existing destinations and hence improve the network spread.
