So I predict we will grow to 300 million passengers a year over the next decade.

But by keeping our fares really low, down around 45, 50 euros.

I mean, Boeing changed the management team about two years ago.

The new management team are doing a terrific job.

They delivered the last 29 of our old order, actually.

ahead of schedule this last autumn and this spring in time for summer 2026.

And they're pretty confident now that our new MAX 10s, we get 15 of them in the spring of next year, will deliver on time.

In fact, you know, they're already being manufactured.

The fuselages are already being manufactured in Wichita.

And then on the other end, you'll pay whatever it is.

Barcelona today is about 12 euros per departing passenger.
