Ourprofit guidance, stated at the time of our interim results release in May,remains unchanged; we now expect total revenue per seat for the current fiscalyear to be slightly ahead of last year. During the month even more passengers were able to take advantage of easyJet'sunique combination of the lowest fares to the best destinations following thelaunch of six routes from our most recent base - the Swiss city of Basel.easyJet is now selling 29 routes from Basel and Geneva, which strengthen ourposition in Switzerland in the run-up to our biggest-ever Winter schedule. Thiswill consist of around 15 million seats between 63 airports for travel up untilthe end of March 2006, including the peak skiing season."
