Aer Lingus and Ryanair set to team up


Despite having an often tenuous relationship in the past, Aer Lingus and Ryanair are close to coming to a passenger-sharing deal.

Willie Walsh, the chief of Aer Lingus' parent company International Airlines Group (IAG), has confirmed that an agreement for Ryanair to feed European passengers into Aer Lingus long-haul flights is imminent.

Talks have been ongoing since last year.

The new arrangement would mean passengers could fly with Ryanair for one leg of their journey, before taking a long-haul Aer Lingus flight on the same ticket.

Walsh said on Thursday that he would be "surprised" if the talks came to nothing, calling the deal "inevitable".
"There were very advanced talks with Aer Lingus at a high level," Walsh said. "I briefly discussed it with Michael [O'Leary], but we had senior people in Aer Lingus discuss it with senior people in Ryanair.
"We've no objection to working with them. If customers want to connect from a Ryanair flight, we're very happy to do that. There were some commercial issues, but I think it's workable".

IAG purchased Aer Lingus for €1.36 billion last year. The company posted a five-fold jump in operating profits for the first quarter of 2016.

Meanwhile, Ryanair head honcho Michael O'Leary posited that Ryanair would overtake EasyJet as the biggest airline in the UK this year.

He said at a Creative Minds conference in Dublin this week:

"As we open up the new base in Belfast, we're adding more aircraft this winter in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Manchester, and Stansted continues to grow strongly, we should overtake them by the end of this year.

"I don't get too hung up on whether we overtake them or not. It's only a question of time, when we'll overtake them.

"It doesn't really make a lot of difference".

Bought this am.

[philo124] 04/5/2016 21:53

What's new?

[sweyn] 17/3/2016 11:07

Hmm.
Lufty is doing well because fuel is cheap.....
.....so Ryanair share price drops despite the fact that fuel is cheap for Ryanair also and this does not help Lufty get any passengers back from Ryanair.

I really don't understand this share....

[sweyn] 10/3/2016 11:16

Interesting new direction with the Business class 737-700.....
Maybe just giving the odd one out something to do?

Deutsche Bank Ups Ryanair Holdings Target To EUR17.60 From EUR14.80, Keeps Buy

[flyposter] 29/12/2015 14:10

@Jamesiesbabie

The average age of Ryanair's fleet is 6.7 years, and the oldest plane they own is 17 years old - interestingly they bought that one May 2015!

[jamesiebabie] 27/12/2015 22:50

I do not think this would be limited to 777's. Write downs coming?

[hawaly] 23/12/2015 15:24

An amazing chart going into next year.

LONDON (Alliance News) - After a "bumpy" second quarter, European low-cost airlines are on track to post "one of the strongest peak summers of the last decade", according to Barclays.
The bank said that a robust European consumer has supported growth in sales over the summer period and that the decline in oil prices is "clear evidence" that yields depend on demand versus supply.
While strong demand and low oil prices mean that capacity "will inevitably creep upwards", Barclays said that earnings momentum can be sustained as on a one-to-two-year view it is physically impossible for the industry to add the amount of capacity required to fully offset the benefits of USD50 per barrel of oil.
Most European low-cost airlines have already planned growth rates this winter, according to Barclays, which said it expects further additions in 2016.
"For now, we expect any yield pressure at LCCs to be heavily outweighed by fuel benefits as hedges roll off. We expect rising margins and ongoing EPS momentum to drive shares, even if multiples derate as capacity is added," Barclays said.
The bank noted that Ryanair Holdings continues to deliver an "outstanding financial performance" and assumes 30% earnings per share growth in the full financial year 2017 as fuel hedges collapse. It said it sees upside to winter guidance, mainly driven by volumes, predicting load factor growth of 2 percentage points, fully closing the gap with easyJet, although it said potential to beat on pricing is limited given strong capacity growth of 17%.
Barclays added that it expects Ryanair to announce as much as EUR800 million in shareholder returns at its annual general meeting on Thursday. The bank has an Overweight rating on Ryanair and hiked its target price to EUR16.80 from EUR14.00.
Meanwhile, the bank said that easyJet has absorbed the most intense competitive environment it has faced for many years in financial 2015, while sustaining positive pricing, which it said is testimony to the resilience of its revenue model and the UK consumer.
Into the winter, easyJet will maintain a similar growth rate to the summer at around 7%, Barclays said, and added that competitor growth on its routes will moderate versus last year. It has an Overweight rating on easyJet and hiked its target price to 2,100 pence from 1,950 pence.
Wizz Air should also be benefiting from the strong demand environment, Barclays said, noting that the company has been raising its winter capacity plans while the competitive environment on its network appears to moderate.
The bank said its earnings per share forecast for financial 2016 would increase 10% for Wizz Air if it announces a similar pricing upgrade in the third quarter to Ryanair and easyJet. Barclays does not have a recommendation or price target on Wizz Air.
Shares in Ryanair were trading up 3.5% at EUR14.02 Wednesday afternoon, while easyJet shares were also up 3.5% at 1,758.66p, and Wizz Air shares were up 1.2% at 1,850.00p.

Ryanair should takeover IAG

That would get some knickers in a twist LOL

[bongo bwana] 25/7/2015 08:48

Well said 'spob' and it could be repeated many times.

If you get your timing right you can buy a return ticket say to Murcia Spain cheaper than a return train journey ticket for Carlow to Cork.

RYA is a lovely long term bet and the real bonus might materialise if an ambitious US or Asian airline needed a decent foothold in European airspace.

Never had any probs with Ryanair

And always happy with the bargain fares

Along with millions and millions of other passengers


The thing that makes me laugh

Is that everyone moans abour Ryanair

BUT they all fly Ryanair because of the price



The truth is most people nowadays are spoilt

and they don't know when they are getting a good deal



Back in the seventies and early eighties flying away on holiday was an expensive luxury

It might have cost a months wages to fly somewhere

Now you can do it for peanuts several times a year

and still they moan



Whenever I take a Ryanair return flight to a destination over 1000 miles away, I always appreciate it, because I can't beleive they can do it so cheap


When you compare the cost of flying thousands of miles on Ryanair to the cost of a train ticket for less than 100 miles, it just beggars belief

I'm surprised there is so little discussion about this company, investment wise or other wise.

I have no interest in starting a thread but the well known arrogance of this company has obviously not changed:

Last Wednesday 22 April upon arrival into Pisa airport I bought a ticket on the RyanAir bus from Pisa to Florence. Yes, Ryanair runs a bus service there; it surprised me too. The bus was supposed to leave at 3:30pm. There were a half dozen passengers on board, but then the manager rolled the departure time back to 4pm. We took it in stride, reluctantly. Another dozen customers came on board but to him it was still not enough, so he rolled the time back again to 4:15, then 4:20, then 4:30, and when 4:35 came and went without departure several passengers got off and went to ask him what was going on. The guy then threatened one women with arrest (!) because she open his office door to speak to him, when he had retreated into there to hide!! What arrogance!

I've had several bad experiences with Ryanair's air service in the past so I absolutely do not fly with them anymore, but it is clear that there is a pervasive managerial attitude of the-heck-with-the-customer, and it is obviously a corporate culture thing.

BTW, after a third of the bus passengers threatened to get off and demand money back, the bus left at 4:45. I will never again use any Ryanair affiliated service.

You are warned!

I hold my shares in an ISA with TD Direct Investing. When I recently received my dividend Ryanair had deducted 20% withholding Tax. As I am in an ISA I thought I shouldn't really be paying this. I took this up with TD and their answer was the following (not helpful - has anyone managed to reclaim this tax?):

"Thank you for your email on March 10th and please do accept my apologies for the delay in this response. We are currently in the midst of our busiest period with tax year end coming up, and have seen even larger than expected volumes of enquiries, so we are working through them as quickly as we can.

Please be advised that we are unable to reclaim tax on behalf of our customers for any stocks other than US and Canadian. This is because we are not a Qualified Intermediary for the European market and therefore cannot raise tax reclaims. This is why the full withholding tax specified by the issuing country is applied to dividends.

Please find below the information we can provide you with to help you make a tax reclaim:
