A turbine stage includes a circumferentially distributed row of adjacent airfoils between which there is a flow passage. The passage has a surface, which in its unmodified form, defines a datum plane. A channel, located in the passage, extends in the direction of an airfoil pressure face from a point towards a leading edge line to a point towards a trailing edge line. The channel includes two channel walls angled relative to the datum plane. Relative to the datum plane, the channel has a low point, two high points, and a channel height, which is measured between the low point and the highest one of the high points. The channel provides a means to reduce secondary flow losses.
