Q1 Traffic Statistics


TBI's four European airports* handled a total of 3.83 million passengers during
the period from 1 April to 30 June 2004, an increase of 5.8% over the
corresponding period last year (2003: 3.62 million).


Growth was seen across all three passenger groups driven primarily by the low
cost sector which saw traffic increase by 7.7% to 2.8 million passengers (2003:
2.60 million). The full service segment saw an increase of 4.2% to 230,800
passengers boosted by an 11.2% increase at Cardiff. Charter was stable at
793,384 passengers.


On an airport-by-airport basis, the picture was slightly more variable. Luton
saw a 4.8% increase in total traffic to 1.86m driven by a 6.4% increase in
low-cost and a 3.4% increase in full-service. Belfast has had an impressive
start to the year with passenger numbers up 8.9% driven by strong growth in both
the low-cost and charter segments, rising 9.8% and 6.9% respectively. In
contrast, Cardiff saw declines in both low-cost, down 9.6%, and charter, down
3.2%, but a 11.2% increase in full service as a result of a strong performance
from KLM's service to Amsterdam. Stockholm Skavsta again saw the greatest growth
of 21.35% as it continues to benefit from the growth of Ryanair's operations but
also through the addition of new services by Basiq Air which commenced in
February 2004.

LONDON (AFX) - A consultation has started on how to guarantee a minimum
level of regional air services within the UK as airports become more congested,
said the Department of Transport (DoT).
The government last year said in its Future of Air Transport White Paper it
would consider imposing Public Service Obligations (PSOs) in certain limited
circumstances.
This would guarantee a minimum level of air services on existing routes from
UK regional airports to London and would allow landing and take off slots at
congested London airports to be ring-fenced for those services.
There are currently 17 routes from UK regions to London airports and the
government said it had no evidence any were about to be withdrawn.
"However the pressure on slots is likely to increase in future years and it
is possible that more regional services out of London might be threatened," the
DoT said.
The airports affected are BAA PLC's Heathrow, Stansted and Gawtick, TBI
PLC's Luton and London City, owned by Irish businessman Dermot Desmond.

[fur] 30/6/2004 12:11

robot walking it up today.

whats 30% on 65p, ooh, about 85p.

[fur] 29/6/2004 14:42

the robot is waliking it down though, so sorting is going on.

[garysmith7] 29/6/2004 14:22

I'm pretty sure something is going to happen......90p

[fur] 29/6/2004 13:44

I see the robot is back on TBI therefore news could be on the way.

[danny_boffin] 28/6/2004 09:30

Logged on this morning and Ample showing TBI's price at 21.47 - I nearly had a heart attack. Checked on ADVFN and was relieved to see 66.5!

Ample's website producing quality reliable information then!

Market Report,Daily Mail,today says..."Luton airport owner and operator TBI flew higher 3p to 681/4 after beady eyed dealers noted that a consortium of private equity players led by J O Hambro Capital had bought 23.3m shares,or 4.2pc. It revived hopes of a management buy out. Chief Exec Keith Brooks has always rubbished the idea but you never know. French group Vinci still sits on 14.9pc of TBI.German airport group Hochtef abandoned plans for a possible takeover in January"

[snaptastic] 23/6/2004 15:28

could break 70p today.. rns coming?????

[snaptastic] 23/6/2004 15:00

looks like the buyers are getting in now, level 2 looking strong now, 68 looking likely.... insiders getting the knod???

[danny_boffin] 23/6/2004 14:23

Hang on, what is 85p? Are we talking about Brussels airport or back to TBI now?

And is Stan Thomas the 'tank engine'?

Ah, you cryptic talking lot.

[fur] 23/6/2004 11:49

i couldn't possibly comment, and trains are good places to find out interesting facts and figures

[curryms] 23/6/2004 11:46

Rise in both TBI's share price and turnover suggest the market thinks something is on the cards.

85p - is your source reliable Fur?

[fur] 23/6/2004 11:00

I understand it is 85 p per share with the tank engine retaining a stake in the new vehicle.

[curryms] 20/6/2004 15:56

Might explain the rise in turnover.

Breakup value north of 90p - interesting.

Anythung above 75p will do me.

[waldron] 20/6/2004 06:26

Takeover Rumours in the Air,again. According to this mornings Sunday Times.

[blowson2000] 18/6/2004 09:31

Maestro.These are not a good set of results! I hold a shedfull of these shares so dont try to blag up results as good when they are clearly not.I believe they will get taken over eventually,But not at the 90p+ level i had previously hoped for.I agree with the previous poster that after these results 75p looks realistic.

[curryms] 16/6/2004 22:01

Déjà vu

TBI's shares slumped after the last set of poor results to be followed by a sharp rise in turnover - somebody leaked that HOCHTIEF and their advisors were provisionally assessing TBI.

10 mil turnover is well above the norm - can't be down to TBI's normal business prospect under the current management! (brokers would have more success selling ice to Eskimos) I can't find any thing to explain today's turnover – perhaps we will hear tomorrow.
