MAp: "The boards and management believe that MAp is well positioned to continue to benefit from the key structural changes in the aviation industry such as the introduction of new aircraft technology, the growth of both low-cost carriers and global airline alliances and the continuing liberalisation of air rights. In addition, the near-term traffic outlook is strong. MAp's active management model will continue to deliver a combination of aeronautical and commercial initiatives, together with an ongoing focus on costs. This will result in continued operational leverage and economies of scale," Company statement. Source: MAp, 25-Aug-2010.
