So what are your service grew 17%. The light was over stated guidance. There are BMC increased by 19% the load factor for the order was 85%.
I see go factor was 87.5% and bernardi sustain no matter, what well see shouldn't in domestic market.
International load factor was 80.1% chose to steady trans border markets.
Well, we experienced stronger notes, you know where via far traffic same.
The most important one CASM ex fuel during the war West Threeforty 99, U.S. dollar says.
Oh, sorry performance he is on track and scheduled reliabilities up 98.9%.
Well nice retain explains it most banks are learning in Mexico.
Turn on investment copied <unk> pretax, 21% I didn't have the word and earnings borate, Yes. Your to September and 68, U.S. dollar I said.
There's three main achievement supporting Bernard is growth in the last looking much.
The first one.
We think will that isn't network in terms of capacity deployment and expansion.
Got it.
[laughter] structure, a network change in the Mark.
Well artisanal.
The strongest point to point network schedule offer and frequencies in domestic market.
Well, there's these they only car you're in the history of how are you assuming the go do I want to rebid. This number only guarding the Houston real time, yes, you're going to go through the past transport them over 20 million passengers doing a 12 month period.
The last 12 months or double that your RASM improved 11%.
Oh.
Scott Basi growth driven by no first you use 20 of our main components. There were some downsizing domestic market I'm doing stifels splendor international operations.
We've been able ours can continue growing at a higher base I know were high cost competitors, given our sustainable cost structure, where I'm going to drive pricing strategy with persistent grows even see revenues I know, we're focused on flying under penetrated or troubled markets, which has been or meant that by mix.
It goes as planned the middle class.
The second reason is that the competitive environment has been rational in both domestic and the cross border markets.
The growing over the Baltic Boys 737, Max aircraft and Sukhoi slipped in Mexico has reviews certain segments of capacity.
Some of our main U.S. and Central American competitors.
<unk> capacity to do other geographies I only know both markets I've enjoyed it better base fare environment, you, where more and more stable goodbye.
We know that lowest unit cost always which.
Well I, usually don't know cost position in our cost trends and main differentiator going forward. If this lowest cost.
This gives us an advantage and enables us to keep growing at a faster pace with their rightfully.
And the third reason is that from the macroeconomic perspective, well nice couldn't genius benefiting from a set of economic factors, which are two wouldn't ours is mo such as remittances employment consumer confidence jet fuel price and foreign exchange remained stable in the last word so.
We think we can keep on performing the way where before.
We plan to finish the current year, there's any ascendant growth of 17% and forecast it full year that'd be Dar marching into both Barco high Twentys, assuming current foreign exchange rate and fuel prices remain stable for the rest of the year.
For 2020, we expect higher capacity into the market, mainly due to the return of the boys 77, Max that at each finale, we'll serve some softness in the private investment in Mexico, which is impacting the GDP.
Good for we're betting lower growth I mean, 29, Dean and estimate an 87 growth of 10% for 2020.
The best be wouldn't be RASM spread.
We sports see I'm, all for down 20% touch points flexibility in Boston.
Most of this capacity will be honest lower core markets and who was good [laughter] improved utilization of positive, resulting in healthy top I see to grow.
No I wouldn't like to turn it over to our urban executive Vice President of older not constrained to comment further on the extraordinary results support already doing deserve for older. Please.
Thank you Enrique.
The numbers speak for themselves, but let me take you through a little bit more detail.
We are observing a healthier competitive environment as a week I mentioned earlier in the call.
This combined with strong market demand.
Well, our Cisco markets result in higher TRASM.
Turning to specifics on Solars performance.
Seven girls was 17% in the third quarter inline with our previous guidance as a result of higher utilization you and the focus on coal markets.
We have taken advantage of the new capacity by allocating it to core markets and spread operations over more hours a day.
This allows us to increase the percentage of nights sites, which are especially popular within the via far core customer segment.
Domestic as time goes for the quarter was 15%.
If our traffic and the bus markets remained the most important drivers of growth.
Well our affairs into Boston in Boston is over six hours are lower than the bus fare and 26% of our capacity is now only competed against the buses.
We have been diversifying our point to point network connecting the dots between existing stations.
This year, we added just one news station, taking advantage of economies of scale and current airports.
We are expanding our presence in medium sized cities that they don't have a strong network building our building on our success in Guadalajara into quite a.
Well our has now surpassed the 122 routes in Mexico.
In the international markets.
Seven capacity growth was 21%.
We continue observing a more sustainable transport a market.
So far segments.
So solid demand.
Supported by remittances from the U.S. well ourselves so 69 International news.
Capacity in Central America represented only 3.4% of totally a sense.
By the end on the third quarter.
The region is not very well and contributing to our U.S. dollar denominated revenues.
In the third quarter, we started operations onto you international routes from existing stations in Central America.
In order to continue developing all point to point Subsys and attracting first time Flyers.
The culture with frontier is maturing according to our plans.
During the third quarter is represented 2.7 percentage points Oh, no sector on the U.S. foods.
During the third quarter 2019, total ancillary revenues reached a 3 billion vessels, an increase of 36% year on year.
Now represents 32% of total operating revenue.
We have been working on our new subsidiary profit maximize our tool.
This is an automated pricing tool that seeks optimal pricing for syn rift wrote off to artificial intelligence.
Once we are still on a learning curve. It has already demonstrated that we are able to identify.
And offer customers, what they need and the prop and price those products using a smart algorithm.
With current supply and demand.
Regarding our travel experience platform yeah boss.
We have been validating the business model and is performing in line with expectation.
Today, our membership programs VVIP path and be club and the Cobranded credit card with a local bank in Mexico allow us to both engage and offer benefits a discount floor frequent travelers.
This alongside our strategy of all freight offering the lowest base fares has allowed us to generate.
Our old away a base of core customers without the high cost associated with a traditional loyalty program.
The rising ancillary revenues enables us to continue to offer the lowest space, there's stimulate volume and to grow travel.
Which has increased 11% year over year for the third quarter.
We believe will ours can further expand not only its revenue base, but also boasts the bus switching market through the improvements in our digital channels.
The company using social media strategies to attract first on Flyers and new generation to the business.
Who social listening.
Algorithms and that does we are generating new initiatives to improve our customers experience at the moment of purchase during their flight and after they arrive at their destination.
More than 25% of our total sales are made through the mobile phone.
Which reinforces our lowest unit cost structure.
Digital initiatives, such as Facebook chopped bought which customers can use instead of the traditional call center.
So continue to our low cost business model.
We are investing in an upgrade of our digital channels in order to make will ours dot com much faster and easier to use with an additional focus on mobile only buyers.
We also in the process of adding functionality to the full ours app.
Syndicate and mobile only self service customer experience, which in time will also reduce customer service costs.
[noise] were especially pleased with the strength of the via far traffic. Therefore, we are now play planning a instead of goal for the fourth quarter into high teens for the entire network.
Relatively evenly split between international and domestic growth.
It is important highlights that we are planning to achieve it through healthy capacity growth, which means that high utilization of existing assets.
We are keeping all thing here with a positive revenue momentum and delivering margin improvement.
Looking forward to 2020, we plan to continue to grow around 10% in terms of eight cents with a balance between the domestic and international markets.
However for the first quarter 2020 this number maybe higher.
Due to a lower base comparison for the first quarter of 2019.
We currently plan net fleet growth of only five net additional aircraft and we will.
Monitor market conditions closely for potentially more additions during the year.
No.
I'd like to handed over to our Vice President CFO , Sony a headache.
For further discuss all financial performance for the quarter.
Thank you.
I will now review the financial highlights. The fact go ahead.
The style CASM ex fuel close at 3.99, you a sense for the most important drivers where did you too.
Yes, the healthy capacity increase and yes homes was driven by higher utilization of our [laughter] the I'm going to check off your depreciation for the quarter was 13.2 block hours per day, an increase of 8.6% yet only yes.
Second the operation up a high five life size, even if you shouldn't see comprising Washington, <unk> family type with an average all 180 seeks.
<unk> costs were 26%, obviously, you succeed with Neil technology.
Okay.
Denise companywide cost reduction program, we finish it each implemented in headcount reduction yeah pork suppliers among others.
So.
Got them was six point.
Let me see U.S. dollar since it's one of the third quarter.
2.6% reduction over last year.
During the second quarter well ladies received a positive response from the domestic Jed we will have their baby was leading lunch.
We are able to renegotiate the class, but gosh I mean, he was the PTC increased by one.
So my with domestic fuel supplier.
Moving to cash net cash flow from operating activities for the sake, where it was 2.2 sealy on this.
Gosh I'm cash equivalents for the second quarter close up 7.8 billion basis.
Represents 24% on that last last month operating revenues.
The adjusted net debt to last 12 month at least our money was.
But they also the city, where 2019 and maybe he can be so I do appreciate that 4% against the U.S. dollar go back to that and yes, Oh, the so whereas 2018.
Nevertheless, the company's first quarter.
You asked dominated AD dollars dominated collections what 43%.
City happiness see insulate the company some exchange rate pressures and reflecting on what is sort of have and that's about hedge and my day that's fine.
Looking at the last quarter over the years, we succeed infused pitches <unk>, 3% or do you expect that jet fuel consumption.
Hmm call options.
No when he started building our hedging position or 2020, we that 20% coverage Oh, yes, they said jet fuel consumption for the here. So you don't cause us.
Regarding our margins, we met our previous guidance for EBITDA margin in the second quarter, reaching 74.6%.
But he by city be officials.
On a 17.9% EBIT margin over 1.7 billion business.
Net income margin for the quarter was 7.5% Oh set on how did that.
18 million basis.
In terms of fleet during the third quarter, we actually do 80 to 80 20 meal.
Well, a young and fuel efficiency.
We ended the so what else I 80 aircraft. That's just 77 at the beginning the year.
If I realize I would like to mention down in the fourth quarter, we'll really see being one hazy 21 meal and 180 20 Neil.
We need to close the yet we.
Do you have for us.
Okay, now I hand, it called back change, Okay, So close and good luck.
Thank you Sonia [noise].
Well there is once to reinforce its commitment to ensuring buys you for our worst shareholders and for our customers, but having a strong driving or.
We were hard but at the same time, we've had a lot of phone is built a strong company culture with a dynamic the liberty focused team.
Things differently efficiently and well aligned well with an issue with the best people lowest cost will enable more people come true.
I will will save to blow that worries about some of those for their passion commitment and the leveraged these were.
Yeah. We are after 15 months of continuous improvement the company's maybe metrics continued growth for this numbers are people there Fortunately bike, although powered buses our management team and our board of directors and for this I think there. Thank you for listening to this call no brainers where.
If you take the questions from Oh awareness. Please go ahead.
Certainly at this time, if you'd like to ask a question. Please press star and one on your Touchtone phone you may withdraw yourself from the question can you at any time by pressing the pound key.
Once again to ask a question. Please press star one now.
And our first question comes from Helane Becker from Cowen.
Please go ahead.
Great. Thank you very much operator, so well done guys and this quarter just a couple of questions in terms of I think someone said you had five aircraft coming in next year is is that.
[laughter] it sounds like final answer any ability to grow more with more aircraft next year. That's my first question on my second question is do you have estimate for CASM ex for 2020. Thank you.
Thanks, Helane 64, you seem to go look defined circus pizza net number from the LIBOR is first and the second is as I said, we really want to pay attention to rising and we can still grow was about 2% adult.
Neither okay, but we want to really stick to the number we have no. It next year, it's going to be a physical year for deliveries from aircrafts. Both the news feed nervosa boy. So we need to be I've been shouldn't do have delivery schedule on how we how it goes the second we'll see what you see.
Important Helane, yes, what do we said in terms of schools, they're going back. So I would strongly say that we need to watch out what is going on we don't want to or low capacity into the market that we went to be very capacity growth for next year.
Finally on CASM, we still have a view for next year.
[noise].
And our next question comes from Michael Linenberg from Deutsche Bank. Please go ahead.
Yeah, Hey, just just a couple here one this is just.
Sort of a small housekeeping item Sanya you talked about the fuel hedge 20% for 2020 can you tell us is that uniform or is it higher at the started the year and maybe any sense of where there's collars have been struck.
Thank you.
He from a along the year.
Okay, 20% each quarter.
Okay. Okay.
Okay.
Any sense are essentially maybe where that.
Strike.
Sort of where that color is that range.
Oh, Yes, Oh socialists, so we have yes, but it's a strike price of options is 1.64 and 1.82.
Okay. Okay, Great. Just second question Enrique I think in your comments you talked about you know your percentage of night flights have increased obviously the fr market likes those fleets, where where his current utilization on the Airbus fleet today, and where do you where can you take that.
Can you can you get that do you.
Yeah.
Somewhere between 13 14 hours is that.
What what what's the right level for it for your fleet.
Yeah, Michael so absolutely that.
The utilization right now on the average over the years at 12.8 hours for the entire feet.
We believe that if we can take that off closer to 13 hours.
In the following year.
Okay and HM.
And ER.
13, sorry.
It's a 13.2 hours.
That was for the third quarter on average for the year. It's 12.8 for the third quarter was 13.2, so we manage our utilization quite easily so in the high season in the highest days of high season. It could go up to 14 hours and then in the low season surgery in September it. It would go below the 30, Telemark, but we continue to work.
On a high utilization and we believe that we can help that next year I'm just needed more.
Okay, Great and then just my last question and I normally wouldn't ask 'em you know this to speak about you know competitors, but I I do find it interesting that two carriers that I view is being very successful airlines.
Have completely withdrawn from Mexico City, and I, you know, whether it was southwest pulling out of that marketing and I think that you know there was you know that the comment or the criticism was that maybe their systems didn't allow them to capture the market as they as they wanted to capture when they went into it but then to see jet blue pull out of you know for different city pairs.
You know effective early January I understand when airlines that are financially, we can't sustain a market, but I would have thought that for at least you know you know one or both of these carriers you know like Houston, Mexico City, or JFK, Mexico City would have been strategically important markets and that they would remain in them.
But just from your side I mean, I know that your lower cost you want to the lowest cost carriers out there and you're certainly lower costs and southwest in jet blue, but the fact that they couldn't make those markets work and I don't know fits that there's too much competition or maybe there relative costs are too high any comments that you see on why.
Even some of the more successful carriers are just our withdrawing from a big market like Mexico City, they can't make it work.
And really that's to him.
And Holger.
[laughter] I've no no we normally do not comment about competition, but Ah I mean, let me answer I, saying that the the cost difference is doing a hell of a change in the market. Okay. Okay. I think what started seeing and do a mystery market and how.
The the lowest cost operators are really dominate more than 50% of the Oh, the market and has the leadership of more than 50% of the market starting to happen in the international markets, Okay and differences costs versus those two cars are.
65% or more.
So I strongly thing that or whether you were seeing is exactly as they move.
So.
Or what you saw in domestic market.
Well no other side I think a new Mexico City Airport continues being a hell of a challenge.
Yeah.
That said, it's a tough airport to operate out of is there do we do we have a solution on the horizon.
You know a chance alicea is is that is that is that do you think that that is a feasible solution.
Luke.
The company has been growing its traffic in a very nice way and we have outperformed financially and do RASM continues to be very strong in general.
We or are watching very carefully the development of the sometimes you have line.
The government recently presented the strategic plan to AWS and or do we do have no more information.
Ah construction hasn't even started and ER. We see is you know horse or would you still not a clear for Ross, but we think that we are an airline which has a low cost structure and Oh the show, notably we.
They see that are not being in the most important hawk. It's always helpful for a low <unk> food it when I looked at local scar.
So we're looking for work to see what happens with appropriate although we don't see that probably in the next three years happen.
Okay.
Hi, many times, we keep on working as much as we got developing a worker basi do you know were strong CD burst.
Related to kind of.
Why now and while the hot and we continue reinforcing the 0.1 structure of the network, which is really bypassing the Mexico city in most of our cases I just want to remind everybody what that we are only less than 40% of the tone of the day.
[noise] seats that are installed in Mexico City, and the company has outperformed so far despite not being in Mexico.
Okay, well, that's great and thanks, Enrique Thanks, everyone great corner.
Thank you very much Michael for all your questions on your attention.
Our next question comes from Duane.
Fair figuring words from Evercore. Please go ahead.
Hey, good morning, Thank you.
And regain team so look how high Ancillaries high load factor.
That's been a part of the model, but I, but I think the surprise for us it's been more on a on the yield side.
Can you talk about what is driving the improvement in yields is it more a function of trans border is it more domestic what do you see that is driving this improvement.
Duane.
Absolutely. So I think it's a and then they don't both some as as we just mentioned we're seeing some public capacity reductions from competitors in the trans border market.
That's not only Mexico City, that's also why the hot and some other destinations the central Mexico. That's clearly out so we see a very robust via far market strong remittances from the U.S., which is an indicator for.
What kind of quarter traffic.
And then the domestic market, we've seen high consumer confidence and and that's driving the traffic for low cost carriers.
Very good strength in the beach destinations in Mexico.
People going on vacations in Mexico.
With our airlines so that does help demand in Mexico. So we're seeing a little bit of both strong transport market and a healthy.
Domestic environment.
Okay Rolling on the line, what Cougars said, [laughter], which is really important that despite the were 17% your do they capacity growth, we're still growing derives from 11%.
It's it's its very healthy for sure and then I'm just on on Central America can you can you give us an update there or how many of the net five aircraft will be deployed to support that operation and I know, it's small today, but to the extent that you have.
Ah overlap with competitors that are restructuring you know what what are you seeing in the marketplace as a result or that you know capacity reduction.
This there's two things that I think are important to remind you guys. I mean, the Costa Rican you see in terms of flying to the U.S. remains frozen because of that October duties downgrade before my they say gale three.
So we are watchful waiting what's going on there and we understand that there has been an important growers corrective action plan and we're seeing positive towards the first were next year.
The second thing is we see a garner you all done I always to solve others see the location of three D.A.H.C. and as a result desertification Ross is doing the final version Berman is still a when a temporary basis suspended.
We were strongest single resume the browses wants to local authorities are ready to proceed but bear in mind that this does not affect that we're going to brazen from and so the U.S. or the divisions, which are being flown by the Costa Rica and are you will see.
So in general we are ready.
Okay and growing in Central America, but a we're leaving a challenge time from their regulatory perspective, which we're supporting the authority, which we are supporting the authorities to really overcome it as soon as possible and it even differ.
That we work on these issues in the first were sometime in the beginning of next year will be communicating to everybody what will be doing in terms of the bus.
Okay. Thank you.
Just to remind you got Costa Rica.
You will see still.
Only represents 3.4% of what we're totally a sense. So it's still a small bridge.
Thanks Enrique.
And our next question comes from Josh Milberg from Morgan Stanley .
Please go ahead.
Great. Thank you good morning, and weekend team Congrats on the results. My first question is if you could talk a little more about the issue of the fuel source surcharges I believe that so when you mentioned the reduction by the third through the <unk> due to the latest tenders and with our own back of the envelope power calculations were what we did.
You are meaningful sequential but declined but not back to the levels seen in 2018.
So one of my specific doubts there was just whether we could expect to see a further decline of of your into plane cost him in the fourth quarter.
Well I as I mentioned just so.
He was saying told is I guess field tender that's me lunch or when they go to you noted use oh, what increase cost by wants it.
And he did he is gonna be mall you know.
He in quarter four.
But I don't think so I don't think we will be able to bother with the current situation.
The two have further reductions and in the coming in the coming here.
So in a nutshell, what's going on Josh is that Pemex has dawn and increment on the transportation costs, mainly from transportation costs.
We are a heavy operator in the middle of the country and the north.
Well as part of the country and sometimes getting to our stations and since we have not big coverage that we have today, we're where we are we have that back though for the transportation fuel towards those places.
So I guess the negotiations that we did with the effect, which is the main supplier for every airport in the country.
Well, it's a big John inch, but she was able to match a third of.
The reduction, but we are by no means back to levels we used.
Okay that that that's very helpful explanation pen certainly concerned and my second question is if you could just review for US that your your degree of overlap with Aeromexico and maybe touch on how much you've been through your RASM was boosted by by your competitors scaling back of capacity in the domestic markets.
Due to the Max grounding [noise].
I I sat in part because it it really haven't been so easy to explain the strength of your unit revenues. This year, even with all the factors that Holger highlighted in response to an earlier question. Just just given you know about how tough the macro backdrop is right now.
[noise] so so HM.
Let me see cooperates and about 80% of a there Ain't stems from Mexico City International Airport and then we can mentioned previously we're more focused on other core Cds I'm quite happy Hanukkah corn on our current overlap in terms of Allison.
It's about.
50%.
And.
What we understand phone from from the Max Groundings is that.
If I get more on the international markets to to the northern tip of South America for.
In Mexico, So is it didn't affect the domestic market significantly.
[noise], Okay. Thank you very much.
And our next question comes from Steven Kent from Citi. Please go ahead.
Thank you everybody and good morning, and thanks for taking my question.
Just one or two and appreciate the color on a capacity girl for next year and you. Good just kind of refresh my memory, you know what kind of ability does or do you guys have to you know, maybe flex down and that 10% growth number.
In the event that competitive capacity, you know kind of goes beyond that.
As I said Steve.
Again, and I want to underline that once again the driver you steer us okay and the kind of what I said is that we can go walk the couple of points off but we can also reviews that a couple points down Okay. You did.
Driver will be the behavior of the two ryzen, which bottom line each what what drives profitability and return of investment for our investors.
Okay that is very color Enrique thank you very much.
And just one other question if I may I mean kind about a follow up on Duane Pfennigwerth question earlier, you know within the Central America market competition Wise I mean, we know there's been kind of one carrier out there and are going I'm, a big restructuring what have you, but any granularity.
You know for example on you know what you're seeing from that maybe the U.S. airlines pulling back in that are in that area has created any opportunity for you at all.
Even as I recognized Costa Rica has a this regulatory issue hanging over it.
Yeah.
Well, Steve we have seen the capacity from the U.S. carriers kind of stable little bit growth.
Stable in the last a nine month since the February she was announced.
No.
We all you see a.
Seen some reductions, especially out of one of my life, a young you [laughter] production.
Portland Monger routes out of one of my life.
The routes out of the solid, though which is our main hall has.
Minimal movement I haven't seen there are being Ah you read used as part of the restructuring their network.
And finally, just to remind you use that we are you seeing friends and relatives or pay and I work. Our policy is driven by like how do these few friends and relatives moved themselves within Central America due to the U.S. and I think that's also remain kind of stable and ER.
Not related business, probably would use RA business driving tourism, which is really watch what do you estimate cars right.
Robert.
Okay very helpful. I'll, let someone else asked a question and I appreciate that and we get.
So two which is really worthwhile to this is not the operation in Central America is already broken tableau has been broke though for the old.
[laughter].
And our next question comes from a Rubin Lopez from standard. Please go ahead.
Hi, good morning, Congrats on the results I have two questions.
My first question is on they use him guidance for 22, any you mentioned that or it could be adjusted according to a they prefer myself to rassam. So just wondering why does it to restaurant level that you are considering gets a base case scenario for your 2020 guidance and at what point would you consider to adjusted plus minus 2% of capacity.
Thank you that's my first one.
We're planning to sustain that where do you rising levels.
<unk> for the next year.
We clearly have never or even a guideline on it but we're trying to say is that we will really reinforces the fact that few rises.
Sustainable and capacity will be grew by that.
Mountain resorts are no incremental capacity or based on the movement over the two rosin, it's going to be so how very close to what we do this year I mean, this year or do you run all over the year improved 11% where capacity without 70% okay.
We as I said, we've got to play with the capacity, especially because the decision going up or down but and.
This is that the couple of points is where we think we got to be.
Okay, you really clear found a the second one sorry, if I missed this but can you give us they usually guidance for the next quarter I got the U.S.K. growth at a high teens BARDA in terms of margin sort of course are you, giving any indication here.
No. We are we gave you the S M guidance for the third quarter, which isn't that the high teens or we're going to close the year with a 17% totally ASM growth for the year.
And.
That's a that's.
That's it.
Okay. Thank you.
Thank you.
And our next question comes from Matthew Witynski from Barclays. Please go ahead.
Hi, good morning.
Hi, Thanks for taking my question. So just wanted to kind of look at margins. After you know I really strong margin performance this year and I appreciate the commentary on on having flexibility on the growth plan.
But you know I'm trying to think if you know if we can keep if we can keep revenues kind of consistent or even if there's some cautionary growth given from the additional growth coming into the market is there potential for improvement on the cost side now youve laid out a few initiatives could.
They offset and maintain this level of profitability I'm heading into next year.
[noise] look there's a culmination of two or three factors I.
I mean, they realize that fuel and exchange rate remains stable.
We kind of mundane, but the question stable.
The cost can be fun thing at the level. They are next year I mean, as we start going forward. We are accelerating our where returns are and it's changing those aircrafts with new fleet, which produces an 80% cost reduction in terms of fuel.
So the leaver costs are you optimistic as we incorporated you feet, but they don't know the size of compensated with a lower fuel costs. So in general we think that we can maintain that we're wasting and Sonya has implemented a new plan, which has been driven by Mike.
C and we'll keep on Duane reductions are awesome, the rest of the issues.
The rest of the line. So we can compensate the return costs.
Okay. Great. That's that's helpful. And then I was just hoping that maybe you could share potentially a little bit more information on V path, it's kind of a unique program. If you just look at airlines globally. Just no. If have you had a competitive response, how large with the growth like any any into any details you can provide would be helpful.
Well, we passed as a membership program, where yeah. It's basically a 12 month subscription I'm. So so are we looking customers for for a 12 month period, and we give them a really really cheap fares for one flight promoting.
That has been taken up a very positively by it by the market. It's a program that we're pushing we're growing and we currently.
Going to membership base the more important program that we have is the V. club, which is a one year.
Membership that gives you access to discounts on on that public affairs.
And that we have a substantial amount of members.
Okay great.
