Indeed, things have change to the better for AZ, they have been successful in the restructuring, but more needs to be done. The improvement in punctuality is a major step ahead.

For me AZ needs to expand significantly its long-haul network, which is where they can gain more profit.
Of course they need more long-haul aircrafts to do that, but this is an old story.

Not really, LX remains profitable with a very small long-haul network. AZ needs to expand in its niche markets, moves such as opening FCO-GIG or expanding NRT are certainly a step in the right direction.

Quoting mikey72 (Reply 5): Good news for LH. I wonder if they can wave their magic wand at British Midland. (Have to be a bloody big wand)
(wuntar being the operative word)
All UK airlines operating from LHR are making losses... Eventually something has to give... There is too much competition at LHR and in the UK in general.
Quoting Burkhard (Reply 1): Things have changed to the good. And the first half year wasn't an easy one, thanks to Eeya...
Well, Alitalia's ontime performance is not bad. I fly them regularly and I seldom had a hug delay. The only thing I do not like is transfers in Rome between Zone A or B to Zone G or H. It is such a long walk! The onboard services is also minimal.

Quoting 777 (Thread starter): Losses cut by half compared to the same period of 2009, more pax, more revenue, more customer satisfaction, more punctuality.
I don't know that that is much of an achievement; I think most carriers have seen a dramatic turn around YOY for the first half of 2010.

Exactly my thoughts. There are few airlines not posting a profit in 2010...

Hmm it's not much of an achievement to half your losses.. be more punctual.. gain more passengers.. achieve a better customer satisfaction level and increase revenue all in the space of a year at an airline that has been going through the crapper for as long as anyone can remember??

That means that despite all the changes they are still burning cash, going a bit slower, though.
Are they any "new" measures foreseen, more cuts or savings, or is everyone happy with the current condition?

Compared to last year? Not really considering the return in traffic and yield worldwide. AA reduced its operating loss by almost 75% YOY for the same period.
