  • The government's investor timetable follows recent leadership and capital-strategy developments: the carrier has appointed a new CEO and been weighing alternatives to a delayed IPO (source:6f33f50f-e507-4eb5-bb39-ae9cc8d957d9).

  • The funding outcome will shape an airline that carried a record 5,206,700 passengers in 2025 and is concurrently expanding routes and its A220 fleet, so investor decisions will directly influence network and fleet plans (source:608fd467-f257-4d5a-9b3f-c467d2957859)(source:6918c010-6124-4d69-a4b0-8b072f50254c).
