Operating result was negative 1.55 billion euros, compared to last year's profit. EBITDA loss was 780 million euros, compared to profit of 1.17 billion euros a year ago.
Revenues for the quarter declined 83.2 percent to 1.18 billion euros from last year's 7.02 billion euros.

The company expects capacity in available seat kilometers at index 45 for the third quarter 2020 and at index 65 for the fourth quarter 2020 compared to last year.
