Rotala need to retain a larger double contingent in their Group fleet going forward, to allow them to be able to bid for Tranches 2 & 3 of TfGM Franchises.

And they think they will get any more work off TFGM.

They were lucky to get some this round but I am sure it was just due to a deal behind closed doors.
