It's a short-haul airline with a small long-haul arm - 85% of its traffic is short-haul, high-cost. We believe we can transform Aer Lingus by reducing its costs and its fares for the benefits of consumers everywhere. You sued the British government for losses you attribute to security measures imposed after August's foiled terrorist plot. Where's the balance...
