meanwhile rival air bus reported a profit of $362000000.00 euros that came after a year on year losses airlines cut or delayed orders during the pandemic the european plane maker says cost cutting measures and military sales put it back in profit. while germany's biggest airline lufthansa has posted a 1000000000 euro loss for the most recent quarter continue its own difficult path through the pandemic with most air traffic shut down to times also tempered his expectations for a summer pick up but there does seem to be a light on the horizon losses in the 1st quarter were less than before and an easing of travel restrictions is being planned. a stalled airline most of lufthansa's fleet has been grounded for months but the planes still cost money parked aircraft need to be maintained and don't earn anything. people say a standing at plane is the world's most expensive billboard that means an aircraft on the ground not only doesn't pay for itself it also incurs costs if it's least for example they're also leasing costs. gemini's biggest airline reacted quickly to the collapse in passenger

>> all types of things we use the latest technology in modern aircraft, the air bus neo is over halfay that we operate the airline, we're very goshs about how little fuel we can get away with. >> that's a pretty big differential that your average versus the rest of other carriers' averages, what do you do to operate more efficiently i understand you might be flying a larger fleet using these newer jets but how do you fly them more efficiently than other people do? >> well, everything from avoiding congested times, congested airports, we, for example, we don't have as much food and beverage on board as you might normally expect. we have half the galley carts and even last week we introduced new seats that are a thousand pounds less per aircraft that alone saves us $30,000 in fuel each year per airplane so we're just always looking for ways to make the aircraft lighter and then how we actually operate it to burn less fuel because there's many ways to get you from "a" to "b," but how much fuel you burn is what differentiates us and it really drives home all of the things that we do from
