Expectations for 2006

Expected business environment :

  • Increased competition on international routes
  • Continued price competition on northbound routes
  • Continued irregularities on OSL and ATC

Expected results (ex start up in Poland)

  • Q2/Q3 06 total unit cost in the range of NOK 0,53+

– At current fuel and currency level

  • Increased handling costs in Q3 06
  • Improved margins for the year (however further increase in fuel prices may change

margins for the year) Expected results Poland start up

  • Poland base is not expected to be profitable in 2006, due to start up costs and low

introductory prices.

  • Two aircraft operation is expected to produce 275 MASK in 2006 and 600 MASK first

full year
