Flights still landing in U.K. from a Italy, Iran and China, with no checks, complete and utter madness.https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/coronavirus-flights-from-italy-iran-and-china-still-landing-3v7363rxr

It is a shame that it takes something like this for people to understand that frivolous flying should be discouraged.

Back of envelope and maybe rubbish but, During the volcanic Ash shutdown in 2010, Approx 1,000 EZJflights were cancelled each day, costing 5m per day. So let's assume all flights are cancelled (about 1600) that's 8m per day. So that will take 125 days to rack up 1 billion in lost income. Assume they can cut a lot of cost out of the business, maybe they can reduce this figure considerably. All being well though if the pandemic curve follows Asia path then perhaps some kind of normality would be occurring in 6 weeks. After that perhaps break even. Anyway the losses are likely to be over 200m if there is any accuracy to my guesswork.

EU to remove airport slot restrictions until 24 October.

The European Council has approved a mandate to temporarily suspend EU slot usage rules which require airlines to operate at least 80 per cent of allocated slots, or face losing their right to the slot in future seasons – a so called ‘Use it or Lose it’ rule.

Companies may cancel their divi going forward not divi which are already declared.

[bc4] 22/3/2020 11:28

Well how come other companies have cancelled their Divi then?

Budget airline EasyJet has asked its pilots and cabin crew to take two months unpaid leave even though the carrier’s senior management are only taking a 20 per cent pay cut for three months. Move comes as airline hands £60m to its founder and shareholder Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou.

EasyJet (EZJ.L) to press forward with a £174m ($202m) dividend payout to shareholders — despite appealing to the UK government for taxpayer help to deal with fallout from the coronavirus pandemic.

Thanks guys , that's convinced me to sell all mine tomorrow first thing.

Hope you're all well.

Bloodbath tomorrow...was a fake rise
all staff at the airport hours cut,12 weeks unpaid leave.my opinion we will see share price have enough room to fall now to 400p.

According to 'thismoney' government will buy shares with a small premium to the current share price. In my openion if there is significant dilution , share price drop,it will contributes to market volatility .

Well look what happened to the banks shares when the GOV took stakes Lloyds was over £10 before the crisis, 12 years later they are 31p so the bank bail outs did nothing for the share price. I am not saying that will here I do not know but just a thought

[32campomar] 21/3/2020 14:20

So if the reports in the press are correct, shareholders are going to be diluted if the company asks for help, with the government buying new shares, presumably at a huge discount - rather like a rescue rights issue

The UK government is drawing up plans to buy equity stakes in airlines and other companies hardest hit by the coronavirus crisis after being warned that the economic packages it has announced so far will not be enough to save them.

The plans would see the UK taxpayer inject billions of pounds into companies including British Airways in exchange for shares that would eventually be sold back to private investors, according to three people briefed on the proposals.

[chinahere] 21/3/2020 12:43

Government is talking about buying shares in airlines.

Porshe1945. I have heard some health experts say what you wrote namely that eventually a large percentage of the population will get the virus. Perhaps 80% and then it makes it much harder for the virus to spread (herd immunity) . It doesn't make any sense though. In order to avoid a huge death toll the total with the disease would have to be surpressed to about 50,000 at any one time. If it take about 2 weeks for an individual to get through the illness then over a year that means 25 (52 weeks in the year divided by 2) multiplied by 50,000 active cases equals 1.25m cases dealt with in a year. If say 50m get it in UK, its going to take 40 years to follow that scenario. So it's clearly nonsense. I think we have to bank on getting a vaccine for it. In the meantime manage it in cycles of surpression or try and do what the Chinese appear to be doing, namely reduce the levels to a few hundred and then rapidly trace anyone who gets it to quarantine them and their contacts. That will need a lot of testing.

Unfortunately the world eas just too interconnected. Read Goldin’s The Butterfly Defect. Pandemics tend to perfectly follow international air traffic routes. They are the perfect disease vectors. When/if this ever ends there will have to be major controls on air traffic

No need to post,since the airlines have stopped flying just about everywhere.

Those that bought on Friday will see the same returns as those who bought at £18.00.

ZERO
