ooppss typo, I meant LH not LOX. I have some education relating to rocket fuel and handling on the oxident side, so forefront of my mind. LH is a hell of a lot worse!
Johnbri4. I will give you one single guarantee. If you try to conduct your business without face to face your business venture will fail. Guaranteed. We are social beasts and as pointed out, all the facilities required to conduct meetings at a distance existed before, yet even with the financial crash, the need for travel simple ballooned. What you are conducting now over skpye or whatever is probably what you were doing over conference calls or one to one telephone calls previously. The one potential change is that those precovid communications without video may now have a video component. It was released the other week there has only been a 10% increase in working from home during lockdown, and many of those people want to go back to the office. Not quite the great social dynamic shift some have claimed. And Qatar have reported this morning they are already 10% up on business travel compared to pre-pandemic. I suspect the world will return back to previous norms far far faster than some predict and then I expect expansion.
As far as your hydrogen aeroplane, if hydrogen was a viable alternative fuel to fossil fuels, then the oil crisis in the 1970's would have resulted in a significant research switch to have an alternative fuel. Oh wait - there was significant research and it was shown to be quite an impractical and very dangerous fuel to lug around. Hydrogen is only feasible for small catalyst style power units and even then the amount of LOX that can be carried safely is a few litres at a time.
But as long as you can pocket the hundreds of millions of research budget and keep yourself and the staff well paid, go for it. Just bear in mind that one day people will stop paying taxes to fund these research contracts. A tipping point is coming with regards to the one-way narrative on climate change. The gravy train is going to shudder to a halt in the next decade.
Mnazir. Why is it necessary to label a post as a ramp or de ramp. Just check my history. I have 6 figures in here as well as Ezj and Rya. and overhaul I am a few grand down mainly thanks to Ezj. I tell it as it is and always will.
J4 & Jtan post good stuff, no matter that they are opposing views, they are respectful and valid opinions whatever my personal view...lets keep it that way and continue in the same vain....
Just bought xxx this am as think this might bounce before it trounces... If it just climbs with no fall, i'll be happy with the day/week trade, if it falls then will keep long term as this share will come good...
Whatever your position be lucky & above all be safe...
ps that reminds me of a durex slogan i once saw many years ago with a blond bombshell in leathers riding a motor bike, caption was a little risque and definitely wouldn't be accepted today but it obviously worked since i've remembered it this many years later...

i like facts not hypothetical statements you can only go on what's happening now , sure the financial boys speculate but i know a few BA STDs and well shall i say they are very worried what's going on this summer
I just replied to a comment old boy
Hahahah so you are saying you didnt know about skype before covid lol….. the extent people go to, to deramp. Travelling for you is over except in exceptional circumstances is tad dramatic, the companies i have worked for pre covud, have sent me on work trips abroad for one simple reason, to retain my services, keep the job interesting and it did work at times.
My post is in response to your post big blue.
Cannot believe you are still posting the same old garbage. This morning I have had 3 teams meetings. One with Italy, one with South Africa and the other with the UK. I have a further one with the States when they wake up later today. In pre COVID days I would have spent two weeks travelling to accomplish exactly the same result. I never left the pool side in the Canaries. Travelling for me is over except in exceptional circumstances. I deal with the biggest aviation companies and I know their policies on future travelling have changed forever.
Just to add all my meetings today are on alternate fuelled aircraft. The pace this is now moving has to be seen to be believed.
Personally I am minded to do what I can do to change my life style to a "greener version", i.e electric vehicle, solar panels, ground source heat pump etc. - many positives here.
HOWEVER, international travel is non-negotiable to me. I will fly, whenever and wherever I would like to go and assume that this will apply to many others.
The Greta club will not diminish leisure air travel in an increasingly affluent world - just my opinion.
Obviously I would hope the same goes for business travel.

As humans, the need to be in close proximity is fundamental. I've never had any fear that face-to-face will return, maybe stronger, than before. I have said before, video conferencing pre-dates the internet but was never in danger of replacing face-to-face. Whatever technical restrictions video conferencing did have were removed with full accessibility with the internet and worldwide web.
There is however one fly in the ointment. The green agenda. This is a very real danger to all transport industries. Unless this climate change religion is confronted and the many scams, cons, frauds, lies and fake science properly exposed, a long term investment in something like an airline would be a very bad move, I would certainly not hold airline or travel stocks in a pension fund. Indeed a ten year divvy plan would be very risky with the degree of climate change hysteria we currently see.
It is possible the attempt to force everybody to switch to electric vehicles might be the trigger that starts questions being asked about the probity of claims and probability of any deviation in climate behaviour and indeed if such changes even exists. Short term, cash-in the best you can. Long term, if the climate extremists continue their march unopposed then the airline and travel industry can only collapse.

I know that they’ve increased domestic flights ,not sure how overseas ones are doing
More news for UK government over last few hours.
"The only reason someone from Britain might be allowed into the US is if they qualify for an economic interest, humanitarian, or other exception."
The UK government need to cut emissions, maybe their M.O is to let airlines fail one at a time.
No one believed the govt would let TCG fail, until it, erm....failed.
Iag won't go bust, they'll just tap the shareholders as many times as it takes to shore up their finances.
I live near heathrow, whoever says they arent making any money is the biggest fool, every 2nd plane i spot has union jack on its tail, on sunday i went for a stroll and counted over 15 planes landing at heathrow most were BA in space of 90 mins or so
No he hasn’t... and that’s the problem right there - you are masking stuff up posting it under the guise of ‘fact’ when you are wholeheartedly 100% Incorrect with that statement.
Furthermore when you post statements like ‘watch and learn’ it has an under current of patronising BS. However in the world of free speech it’s your prerogative what you say, and my choice to filter.
Just in case you need clarification - Han**** stated don’t travel to amber countries for a holiday under the current legislation.
Let’s see where we end up this week, mid July, mid August and then September.
No sooner than the word sad attention seeking fools are mentioned 1 pops up
Watch and learn, give it time to play out. Its the market, its slow.
Remember I don't make up the news, I share it.
Han**** has warned you no holidays abroad.
Fughazi - A professional wind up merchant, I’d actually pay to come and see you do stand up old chap! In fact I can do better than that, if IAG go below £1 I’ll buy you £1000 worth of shares myself.
Some rattled posters here this evening.
Its not a good place to be, I hear you.
Whether uk gov gives the green light to, say Spain for example, Spain will easily shut the door on the UK as covid there is spreading like wildfire.
However, sub 100p will be a good purchase.
Absolutely concur... the markets rise on speculation as we know, there are a number of strategies with this share -
1. The day traders (good luck, great skill to have one I don’t possess)
2. Short term ( 8-12 week view to encapsulate uplift in summer travel and trans Atlantic)
3. Medium term next 6-12 months looking to a full unhindered travel schedule this time next year
4. Long term looking 3-5 years, with a view that the Sp will be back at circa £5-6
All the above have their own advantages and risks etc it’s down to the level of exposure, potential gain and level of risk appetite.
I am hopeful to see 2.40+ by September, I think it’s possible, that being said I thought it would arrive in April, but it peaked at 2.18ish before going back to 1.80’s. None of us have a crystal ball but use a mix of research and understanding i would suggest
However there are some very sad attention seeking fools on this board who flirt with reckless scaremongering stupidity. Trying to draw attention and scare new pi’s who come to these boards for some common advice / mutual talk
Inferno 300p is my pull out i still have a few shares in this but ill come in at around 175-180 and get more i can see this sp price short term if no flights aug sept bud then it will be a cold winter and they may loose some slots too , I hear Gatwick could be gone this year , i hope not but lets wait and see its in the Gov hands now Iag can only watch good luck with your investments .
300p presents a 42% increase from here... if that takes 18-24 months that would present i would suggest a very good return indeed.
The cash burn you talk about has already been documented and articulated in the last financial update. The markets have factored this in already, as with everything it could go up or down. However fools
Spouting 1.50 with no further insight than ‘I think’ is getting tiresome. I am not a ramper I would cast equal aspersions to someone shouting £5 by Monday.
Great post Inferno. Fugazi is one such clown who doesn't have a clue and keeps throwing numbers every day. Pressure is building on BoJo and now even Matt Han**** is talking about allowing travel for fully vaccinated people.
Once the hospitalizations numbers and deaths continue to remain low then there is no way sage scientists can ask for restrictions. EU will accept double dosed travellers.
In Q3 this year we could see big jump like last year when vaccine news spiked entire market. Hold tight.
Inferno My concern is the money burn there not making no money this has got have a detrimental affect on the sp price and i can not see this going above 300 for very long time i think there is still movement going down than up im sitting on the fence on this till aug i got a feeling it will drop , extract from share magazine " British Airways owner International Consolidated Airlines (IAG) reported an overall operating loss of €4 billion in the first half of 2020." So we a dilemma as now we have more countries under amber and more countries quarantining in the host country from the uk if this does not change i can see a 9 billion loss this year and say good buy to 300p for a long time any thoughts
