The strong July traffic data is a positive operational signal, but the company's FY2025 annual report showed a net loss and declining revenue, creating a mixed picture. Monitor the next quarterly earnings (10-Q) for actual revenue and margin conversion from this capacity growth, and watch for updates on the pending Viva Aerobus merger.
