Supporting evidence

Historical trends show that ASR has occasionally outperformed expectations despite recent misses.
The recent uptick in travel sentiment could translate into stronger-than-expected passenger growth.
Key risk

Pre-commit to what would confirm each case.
The core debate centers around whether ASR can sustain growth in passenger traffic and manage costs effectively.
Bull confirmed if
