For repairs? Or being returned coz KQ doesn't need it? Or returned to the Lessor?

?

Probably the 5 remaining 767-300s being returned or the 1st of two 737-800s ordered (one to replaced 5Y-KYA).

Edit: sorry @obiero, seems like we posted at the same time.

The airline business makes money for everyone else except the shareholder.

Money for the plane manufacturers, financiers/lessors, oil companies, pilots and executives but nothing left for the shareholders. As optimistic as I am for KQ and its newer fleet, I Know that operating and financing costs will go up exponentially, offsetting increase in revenues and savings in maintenance.

Ask Warren Buffett. I should have listened to him much earlier but better late than never!

Avoid generalizations and blanket statements, there are airlines out there making money for its shareholders.
You cant say that for airlines such as Singapore airlines
Last year Delta Airlines paid quarterly dividends and did some share buy back, you know how that can affect the price. Tho they last did it in 2003. US Airlines has been profitable for some time and bought/merged with AA. Southwest has been giving its shareholders dividends every quarter but their plus has been their business strategy. Hedging. With Oil prices going down , KQ would get a loss if they locked down a high price. But i have no idea how that balances out with a strong Dollar.
