Cutting through the bs they are making money and lots of it I remember the days when in supposed bad times airlines lost fortunes, facts are brexit is here to stay the new pound rate will be between 1.25 to 1.38 long term the good point is oil prices are doomed because electric cars are coming and who knows one day electric planes(although give me a jet anyday) prices of flights will rise to maintain profits and the fittest and biggest along with smallest and nimblest will survive and grow, IAG are in the fittest and biggest and will get fitter, bought a load at 3.60 sold at 4.20 yesterday back in bigger at 4.03 today, these will get back past 5.00 within a year imho they will have spikes and troughs doing it next test is around 4.40 if they crack that 5 will come quick if they don't we will visit around 4 again imho

Another big rumble from Katla.

American actually up over 4% though, I think the drop here is overdone, however might be a bit more short term downward pressure.

Interesting to see that a couple of months ago many major brokers shooting for 750/850p
Beware ......!

Poor from Lufthansa as well.

Read across from EZJ this morning.

[philanderer] 20/7/2016 13:24

JP Morgan

Downgrading EZJ and IAG from Overweight to Neutral given their
greatest relative exposure to the UK (c.60% of total capacity) and Sterling
(c.45% and c.35% of revenue, respectively). Chief contrasts: EZJ’s LCC
model geared toward UK short-haul traffic with greater GBP exposure vs.
vs. IAG’s fuller service offering, lower c.20% UK short-haul exposure,
greater mix of higher-yielding premium traffic and lower effective fuel cost.
This is based upon interrogation of current flight schedules

High five for Wi-Fi

Customers flying with BA will be able to connect to high-speed Wi-Fi from early 2017. Parent company IAG has reached an agreement with in-flight connectivity specialist Gogo, which will also see Aer Lingus and Iberia flights fitted with the technology. The first long-haul aircraft to be equipped with the service will be a BA Boeing 747-400

30 June BA flight to Vienna delayed 2 Hours; return flight from Vienna 18 July delayed by 3 hours. Spent over an hour checking in online. Got help of hotel staff - even they had trouble. Eventually got boarding pass printed. Spent nearly an hour at BA bag drop off. They just checked me in again and printed another boarding pass! Thought idea of online checking in was to speed up the processes at the airline desks, That is show passport and boarding card, answer questions re packing of bags and get bags weighed and tagged? Wouldn't invest a barge pole in IAG.

BA systems not getting good press today.

It`s getting to be a right old volatile world.

Market report:

Meanwhile, read across from Delta Airlines trading update drove airline stocks higher. British Airways owner IAG rallied 17.9p to 426p and lost cost carrier easyJet leapt 51p to £11.71 after Delta reported a better-than-expected profit in the second quarter. It also said it would make fewer seats available to the UK than previously planned this autumn so ticket prices do not drop.

Cannot see Heathrow's 3rd runway getting built any time soon.
Had an excellent return on these shares (which are not one I usually look at), but have hit my target and collected a divi as a bonus. Sold 80% at 422

International Airlines Group (IAG) is converting two Airbus 330-300 longhaul aircraft options into firm orders for Aer Lingus.

These aircraft will be delivered in 2017 and will facilitate expansion on Aer Lingus' transatlantic network.

The modern, fuel efficient aircraft will bring both cost efficiencies and environmental benefits to the airline. These A330 options were first announced in September 2014.
