Rising fuel costs may wipe out airline profits


OPERATING PROFITS at Aer Lingus and Ryanair will be almost wiped out in the current year due to the soaring price of fuel, according to research published yesterday by stockbroker Merrion Landsbanki.

Analyst John Mattimoe forecast that the airlines would end their financial years at just above break-even, based on his assumption that fuel prices would remain at their current level of $1,340 (€861) per tonne.

Mr Mattimoe estimates that Aer Lingus's 2008 fuel bill will be €62 million higher than he previously forecast. This will be "nearly enough to wipe out our previous operating profit forecast of €65 million if all else were unchanged".

He also predicted that Aer Lingus would "stand down" 10 per cent of its capacity in each of the next two winters. Merrion said this would benefit Aer Lingus's short-haul unit revenue.

"The net effect of these assumption-changes results in a revised 2008 operating profit forecast of €11 million," he said.

"Were it not for the partial shelter from fuel hedging previously in place , it is likely that Aer Lingus would be loss-making at the operating level in 2008 on $1,340 per tonne [of] fuel."

If oil prices stay at the current level, Merrion said, Aer Lingus's 2009 fuel bill will be €117 million higher than this year.

After the Eircom disaster comes.....the Aer Lingus disaster. The public will never participate in their great flotation ideas again.

well run company
held by few holders with deep knowledge
guaranteed e/w bet for those with low risk gamblers

[6lucky] 30/12/2006 19:04

hmmmm...........

[6lucky] 29/12/2006 18:07

these bb seems lull at moment
The passenger fig. are good the bid issue is subdued and the share price is languishing at the wrong end.
The bid situation is not dead as it is under review and there are tight holders to these shares[not many floating around].
The holders will not give away any of their shares for cheap as the bid of 2.80 euros or nearly two quid is not good enough by the figures out yesterday.
Any views on long term i.e. 6 to 12 months welcome.
P.S. constructive and sound views are appreciated

Good post no.59

I guess everyone is dumping given RYA have IMHO a very low chance of success.

[mickconn11] 27/10/2006 21:09

Worth watching the RYA price action.

Very strong.. and especially in New York. ..premium about 19%.

Why... and who's buying ?? .


Fun and games I guess and of course part of the deal with the offer is a share swap.

BA won't be able to successfully bid for AERL, it would probably be deemed as anti-competitive (best hope is a continental european airline to bid).
