Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the absolute passenger numbers (in thousands) for March 2014 and March 2013, as the text provides percentage changes but omits the raw data tables.
- Confirm the impact of the new routes on future revenue, as this filing does not quantify the financial contribution of these additions.
- Review the most recent Form 20-F or quarterly report for actual revenue, profit, and liquidity metrics, as this 6-K filing does not contain financial data.
