00:00We have to think that it's been a very tough year for all the airlines, you know, and when we look
00:06at all the airlines of our size and how difficult for them, being really a lockdown, I would say,
00:17around the world, not flying last year for a number of months, all that being tough. But I
00:26think we opened up and we see the more markets open, so we take it. If the markets open,
00:35countries are opening up, we will see a fast rebound in terms of traffic to those markets.
00:44So I think as the markets open, you will see that traffic is good.
00:48We have to remain optimistic and this is what I've been saying. If markets open,
00:55traffic will be coming. We will see this in the next six months. Maybe we will not reach the
01:02pre-pandemic number till the next six months. That would need obviously a much longer
01:11period. And also, this is also, it doesn't depend on the airline and what the airline is doing.
01:17We are always there, we can move fast and we can start with the previous number that we used to
01:29fly in terms of aircraft and things like that. But also that it takes a big, I would say, government.
01:40You work with governments, it's completely different now. You know, health authorities,
01:46airport capacity, slots, time, all of that is an obstacle when the airline comes. It's not like
01:54just I want to go there and I can't do it. You know, we are reassessing our plan in terms of
02:03lead requirement, what should be really pushed back, because we have to deal with a market that
02:10really shifting back and forth. You know, we go, we see the market, we go two steps
02:16front and then one step behind or two and three, you know, so it's not really a very accurate
02:23number I don't want to give at this time. It's always dependent on the government and how they
02:29are dealing with that situation. So we cannot say fix a date that will be applied around the world.
02:37You see markets are opening, closing, reopening with restriction, with less restriction.
02:44We're always for, I think, we see that more vaccine around the world, easy, easing on travel
02:53restriction. You know, this kind of thing, you know, we have to think about it that way. And
03:00that's how the world will move. I hope that the market will open in the next six months from now
03:07the summer traffic is really coming up fairly soon. I can sense that people want to travel,
03:16want to people really, because especially the one who haven't been out of their location for the
03:23last year and a half. So they want to do, they want to travel. On flight Dubai and working
03:31together, we've been working together before COVID-19. And now we are also trying to
03:40mesh our operation together to make the best of it. We have to think it's one on
03:46for flight Dubai. The focus now on doing things in the right way and to work together
03:53much closer than ever before.
