Aer Arann suffers 32pc nosedive in passenger traffic



Passenger numbers at Ireland's regional airline Aer Arann tumbled by 32pc over the year.

The company, which has just signed a franchise agreement with the national carrier Aer Lingus, saw the amount of travellers on its flights to Dublin falling from 480,230 in 2008 to 326,400 within the year.

The total amount of traffic through Dublin Airport dropped by 12.6pc in 2009 to just over 20.5million from nearly 23.5million in 2008.

Meanwhile, Aer Lingus passenger numbers at Dublin declined nearly 7pc in 2009 to just under 7.46million.

Low-cost airline Ryanair suffered a 11.7pc fall back in figures from just over 9.9million in 2008 to 8.75million last year.

Aer Lingus has predicted a further fall in full year revenues this year in the face of what it calls "extremely challenging" market conditions.

Another top name quits at Aer Lingus

Why bid when they can buy what they want from the Receiver down the road and get it cheaper and have no problems with the EU competition Authority by buying Aer lingus as a whole like they did last time!



Ryanair said it was "highly unlikely" to make another bid for Aer Lingus, Ireland's struggling flag carrier

I'm in with a small spread position...wished I had bought more now because i got into June with a 70-71 spread and it's now moved to 71-73. I was surprised that IG weren't looking competitive this morning with their quote but Fins were mispriced a bit as IG now giving the best quote.

Ryanair will put in another bid

[tillman] 10/1/2010 21:01

pretty quiet here!

have been watching these for a bit and think i may make a small purchase for recovery/bid hopes

a lot of the bad news must be priced in now

Seems to be some fairly odd trading patterns with this share - a lot of 7Ks going through as well as lots of 3,111

[ein] 29/12/2009 11:04

More than 70p and less than one pound.

[biglosses] 29/12/2009 10:22

At what price I wonder? O'Leary will be sure to drive a hard bargain.

[ein] 29/12/2009 10:16

Looks like the bid could be back on?

The permanent grounding of Scotland's Flyglobespan, along with more histrionics at British Airways, has reignited speculation about the next airline likely to go kaput. The usual names are tossed around

On my 'watch' list.

Airlines nosedive into bigger-than-expected losses



The world's airlines will rack up losses of $5.6bn (€3.8bn) in 2010 to add to the $11bn they'll have lost by the end of this year, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) has predicted.

The forecast loss for 2010 is more than the $3.8bn (€2.6bn) estimate IATA had previously pencilled in. IATA's director general Giovanni Bisignani said that while the worst was behind the aviation industry, fuel costs were rising and yields -- the fares paid per flight -- were a "continuing disaster".
