Demand across core domestic and short-haul markets remained solid, but the airline deliberately trimmed marginal frequencies to protect turnaround buffers during peak travel weeks. The slight year-over-year decline reflects schedule rationalization and fleet rotation timing rather than a structural shift in demand. This approach supports stable load factors while prioritizing operational headroom on routes where day-of-operations variability is higher.

Punctuality softened slightly versus last year, shaped by localized weather cells, air traffic flow initiatives around congested city pairs, and turnaround extensions at regional airports. In response, the airline has tightened gate time standards, advanced overnight maintenance checks, and expanded day-of-week spare coverage to absorb irregularities. These measures are designed to limit knock-on delays and keep afternoon bank integrity intact even when the morning rush is disrupted.
The network is anchored by a capital‑city gateway and several regional connectors that channel short sectors into morning and evening banks. Core city pairs focusing on business, medical, and visiting‑friends‑and‑relatives traffic maintained resilient demand, while thinner leisure routes saw tactically reduced frequencies. Connection design emphasizes short minimum connect times and coordinated ground handling to protect onward links.
For passengers, the carrier remains a pragmatic choice for reliable short‑haul connectivity, especially on point‑to‑point regional links. Looking ahead, customers can expect punctuality to stabilize as resource buffers and maintenance planning mature, alongside incremental service enhancements on busy corridors. Heading into the late‑year travel season, the airline plans selective capacity adds on proven routes while preserving operational resilience during weather‑sensitive periods.
