[05:13.84]1 There's a lot of competition on our routes⁹,

[05:25.54]and 70 percent of local flights.

[06:11.36] we think that we will hire over 1,000 people in the next 18 months.

[06:19.38]3 We've introduced a new quality control programme.

[06:28.08]Even though this has been a bad year,

[06:32.36]we must never let quality suffer!

[06:35.76]We have introduced new services for passengers

[06:40.85]and improved maintenance¹² of our aircraft¹³.

[06:45.05]Of course,costs have increased
