'Generally it’s expected that by the end of next year, we’ll be back to having the same sort of number of aircraft taking off and landing.

'Some of the other drivers of costs are causing those fares to be higher than they were previously and we probably won't return to those due to the inflationary environment we are in, but more competition will bring those fares down.'
