I have my last ever Ryanair flight next week. I am taking on 11 hotels in Portugal and dropping my Malta inventory in a management shuffle. Suits me great as I have many more options between locations. Last year I had 94 ryanair flights between Malta and Sevilla.
This is typical of the ryanair user who has no choice. The flight was never full so no chance of another provider stepping in.

More than £180m profit, already up from £170m. I still hold the view that it will outperform expectations at £185-190m based on reduced cancellations over their forecast and last minute demand.

from the article.
Garry added that easyJet holidays, which is expected to make a pre-tax profit of more than £180 million this year, is ‘focused on sustainable, profitable growth’ and offering ‘really good value to customers’.

Hugely underestimating the versatility and skill of sir traffic controllers. Once again speaking about something you know sod all about.

Some cancellations out of Gatwick today due to low staff numbers at ATC. A last minute absence says it all. No resilience or planning. Around 60 easyJet flights are affected from the 1680 flights from or to the UK today. Disappointing but not a disaster.
This seems a prime job for early computer automation given the vital role and the clear efficiency and environmental gains. Obviously in our lifetime many roles will go but this must be top of the list

It's looking like oil will be considerably cheaper over the next few years. OPEC has already given it their best shot and still oversupply looks a big problem.

Reported in the Independent about yesterday (Friday)
"Britain’s biggest budget airline, easyJet, is predicting its busiest day of the year, with 300,000 passengers booked on nearly 2,000 flights.
In the UK alone, more than 170,000 passengers are booked on over 1000 flights to 101 destinations.
The busiest routes for sun seekers are to Alicante and Palma in Spain, Faro in Portugal, Nice in France, while Geneva and Milan are the top business and city-break routes"

"Ali Gayward, easyJet’s UK country manager, said: “September has always been one of our busiest times for travel.”

Indeed but this year is exceptional. We are experiencing numbers and prices well over pre covid levels.

Easyjet need to make just £30 a head profit from £9m a day.

Disappointing end to the week. Easyjet made a couple of percent over the others this week. Hopefully that's something that can be maintained.
Brent t $71.45. Jet fuel down at the pump across Europe. Peak time Summer over with very few cost connected disruptions. Risk massively reduced now on Q4 results. Q4 should be good for at least £720m profit
assuming a smooth end to the quarter. That will produce a H2 profit of £956m and a £606m annual profit before tax and any exceptional accounting matters. That's the minimum in my opinion.
After tax at 20% of profit dividend pays around 12p a share.

Sapphire; You have my support, and thanks for the information

[noramping] 06/9/2024 12:46

Sapphire doesn't have much support off fellow shareholders on here.

I find she just makes excuses for everything and just ramps.

Facts are her predictions have all been wrong and blames everything but herself, I'd hang my head in shame if I was her, absolutely no credibility in what she says.

Filtered. Loser. Back to your plane spotting.

[lyqwyd] 06/9/2024 08:13

Whatever, bored now. Off you go, plenty of rooms to clean in this busy season.

[sapphireblue1] 06/9/2024 08:08

Are you saying in Manchester that they would call it MIA because it's important to easyjet. I don't understand where you are going or why.
In Malta the airport is commonly called MIA spoken as Me-ah. It's what most people call it.
Hopefully that's enough for you that I know where I am. I wouldn't use the airport code in conversation, maybe you would with your plane spotting pals.

[sapphireblue1] 06/9/2024 07:53

It maybe to easyJet and you but it's not important to me and I was the one posting it. I am sure that easyJet doesn't have a new heavy repair facility in Manchester.
I don't see what's so difficult

[lyqwyd] 06/9/2024 07:38

Manchester .. strategically much more important to easyJet than some small burnt rock in the Med, wouldn't you say.

[sapphireblue1] 06/9/2024 07:29

Meanwhile the peak return for the British citizens is complete with almost no disruption. A few diversions and some delays for baggage handling but largely inconvenienced the traveller not the airline.
Substantial queues at Málaga as they check for British overstayers mingling in the chaos of the busiest week of the year.
However this didn't affect the departures much.
A super summer this year already the DINKYs are arriving and as always the spend goes up.
September is solid as is most of October and Christmas already is mostly booked.

[sapphireblue1] 06/9/2024 07:21

Would you get in a cab in Manchester and ask for MIA. I don't know I wouldn't ever go to Manchester but I think that they would ask for the airport.
I wouldn't get into a cab in London and ask for LHR I guess that I would call it Heathrow Airport.
In Malta everyone including branding and advertising calls it MIA.
I don't understand why on a chat forum anyone would use the airport code, seems a bit stupid to me.
Clearly easyJet are in Europe and have just taken over a substantial repair facility at MIA.
The reply initially was very British anorak. I tend to avoid the sandals brigade where I can

[lyqwyd] 06/9/2024 06:26

What about Manchester International Airport .. MIA? ..lol.

[trying2trade] 06/9/2024 03:21

More sapphire waffle that's a 1 person census that represents nowhere near the reality.

[sapphireblue1] 05/9/2024 20:00

It's MIA to everyone in Europe. Even the buses here have MIA as the destination. The airport identifier code is never used here.
We also don't use IATA or LMML and don't call it Luqa airport.
Obviously easyJet aren't going to have a heavy maintenance centre in Miami.
