Chris Sloan: How is Volaris coping with the infections in Mexico?
Holger Blankenstein: Things are going well. We’re adding back a lot of capacity and passenger numbers are above 80% load. People are certainly looking to travel to beach destinations and to see friends and family. We've seen there’s a second wave in the US and we went backwards in some of the big cities here in Mexico.
