The carrier's CEO, Bjorn Naf, previously stated he plans to restore profitability by 2010, after cutting 25% of its workforce in 2008 and completely restructuring its core operations. However, some reports have indicated that the carrier is now looking at a 2013 timetable for break-even, given the current downturn in international aviation.
