REASONS OF RETIREMENT
Made untidy operating profit for the airlines.
No hopes for airline being able to fund this
investment of premium first class market demand.
Airline decided to write of the investment of aircraftof around 100 M rather than risk having to write off
sums that could top 200M in upcoming years
