- lencastre 3y agoMeh… I’m not an expert in airline economics but it often seems the case that if you are not a barebones low cost charging for everything excess toilet access and a seat, you may not be able to get enough occupancy to pay airport fees, maintenance, baggage, fuel, crew, and the rest of the operating costs, otherwise that bird is taking off and bleed dollars. Then you are a national carrier, and you must be subsidized by the government.
