The scale and breadth of new international routes could boost load factors and premium yields if demand holds, strengthening revenue visibility. Comparative advantage versus peers in open-jaw itineraries and business travel adds optionality. Risks include higher fuel costs (cited at $6B) and competitive pressure, which could cap margin upside.
