First-pass take

Cyclical airline with zero AI exposure, currently disrupted by GTF engine groundings (42 aircraft, ~19% of fleet grounded). Despite strong operating cash flow (€1.1bn), EBITDA margin contracted 2ppts despite 3.8% revenue growth—negative operating leverage. Elevated leverage (4.4x net debt/EBITDA) with recent credit downgrade to BB+ and Ba1 Negative.
