Vueling: "As it relates to the full year 2011 outlook, the company expects to achieve an activity increase of 10% in the number passengers and a 6% increase in available seat kilometres (ASK) compared to the previous year. As far as other operating indicators, the company expects to maintain similar unit revenues (RASK) and ex-fuel unit costs (CASK ex-fuel) on a comparable stage length basis. Accordingly, despite high fuel prices and a difficult macroeconomic and operating environment, Vueling expects to obtain a positive result for FY2011." Company statement. Source: Vueling, 14-Nov-2011.
