'New best TV ads to promote travel'

Jan 04, 2014

Travel companies are looking for new ways to engage costumers and inspire new trips. British Airways does a solid job of this by creating an ad that focuses on short weekend trips while Air France takes another approach by thanking flyers and wishing them a happy new year. Ads from Disney parks and Icelandair round out this list of newly released 2014 ads.

British Airways' new ad uses a young couple's travels to highlight the airline's mobile app, "Holiday Finder" tool, and online deposits. Images of the couple's spontaneous trips inspire wanderlust and the tools make it seem impossibly easy to take a jaunt to New York or Dubrovnik.

MARKET REPORT: Shares in British Airways-owner IAG soar and will rise further in 2014

27 December 2013


Shares in British Airways-owner IAG have been one of the top performers of 2013 and investors are betting the airline group has further to rise next year.

At the start of this year the firm, which also owns Portuguese flag carrier Iberia and low-cost Spanish airline Vueling, traded at 194p. Yesterday it closed up 1.6p to 402.4p.
Analysts began covering this stock earlier this month with a buy recommendation, setting a target price of 450p, while brokers at Deutsche Bank and Goodbody Stockbrokers both reiterated their buy ratings on IAG in December.


Under chief executive Willie Walsh the group has been driven by new management and restructuring at Iberia.

The business has also benefited from staff cuts, wage restraint and more flexible working practices that Walsh introduced at British Airways before the financial crisis.
IAG, Germany's Lufthansa and Franco-Dutch outfit Air France-KLM have built strong market positions in Europe on the back of their legacy airline status, consolidation of rivals and control of key take-off and landing slots at major airports such as Heathrow.


However, brokers argue IAG is well placed to do well in 2014 on the strength of its joint venture with US rival American Airlines. The broker says the group should also benefit as it rejigs its airline slots at Heathrow as it converts bmi short-haul slots to more profitable long-haul destinations.

IAG completed its acquisition of UK airline bmi in April 2012 for £172.5million for Lufthansa.

Scribes also like the recent expansion of IAG's budget carrier Vueling.
The airline recently moved into Brussels Zaventem airport and Rome's Fiumicino, and Liberum said these moves are 'unlikely to be the last'.

IAG – like Lufthansa and Air France-KLM – is in a good position to deliver profits on long-haul routes between Europe and North and South America.

But brokers warn these legacy flag carriers will continue to face stiff competition from Middle Eastern rivals – such as Emirates, Eithad and Qatar Airways – on routes between Europe and Asia and Australasia.

However, many analysts tip IAG for continued growth in 2014 – despite a landscape that includes high fuel prices, rising airport charges and low-cost airline competition.

ACCA member Denis Murphy talks about his role as finance analyst at British Airways.

[philanderer] 20/12/2013 12:07

Can`t find anything specific.

Interesting....

The UK has become quite creative in the way that it recycles. In Glasgow we have buses that run on waste cooking oil, while there are plans underway to run British Airways jets with fuel made from household waste.

The latter relies on the potentially revolutionary technology of AIM-listed Velocys (LON:VLS) to perform this modern day version of alchemy.

And while the BA collaboration is quite a headline grabber it fails to fully sum up the huge potential of the company and the chemical and engineering breakthroughs it has made to date
