Good post....mostly true of coarse. I treat LONR in the same way as China 20yrs ago.....not a punt with all the family silver......a couple of spoons will suffice. B/W

Lonrho PLC Lonrho Aviation's Fly540 Reports Strong Demand RNS Number : 2269U Lonrho PLC 19 December 2011 &#65279; 19 December 2011 Lonrho Plc Lonrho Aviation's Fly540 Reports Strong Demand Lonrho Plc is pleased to announce that following the successful opening of the third strategic hub for Fly540 in Ghana, its regional African airline business, Fly540, is expecting record passenger numbers for the month of December. Load factors across East Africa, Angola and Ghana based on passengers flown and forward bookings will exceed 80% for the month. Fly540 currently flies in Kenya, Tanzania, Southern Sudan, Uganda, Angola and Ghana and is planning on opening routes to additional countries early in the New Year based on the increasing demand for this low cost model. Fly540 Kenya celebrated carrying its one millionth passenger in August this year and is reporting strong year on year passenger growth. In Angola, additional aircraft have already been sourced to meet better than forecast demand with two further ATR 72's mobilising in January 2012. Fly540 Angola is running at almost full capacity with a load factor over 85% expected for December. The arrival of these further aircraft will increase the destinations flown domestically in Angola over the coming months and Fly540 Angola is planning to build capacity to service a domestic route network of 15 destinations throughout Angola. Fly540 Ghana which launched operations recently has seen an impressive immediate demand and will have 80% + load levels in December. David Lenigas, Executive Chairman of Lonrho Plc commented: "The demand for quality regional aviation in Africa is clear and with the three hubs of Fly540 now operational in Kenya, Ghana and Angola, the airline is delivering on its objective of creating a first world pan African service. Building on the strong base now implemented, the airline will continue to grow in 2012 and expand the network with the deployment of further aircraft and new routes."

Strong demand for FLY540, record passenger numbers etc......is it a complete fabrication of the actual situation?

...it could be 10--20 days!! B/W

Your opening statement is a clue, [ "I have been looking for a good Africa play for quite some time".] I checked the situation 2yrs ago and LONR ticked most boxes. Off coarse there will be inconsistencies, this is a company attempting to operate in what i consider... the final frontier. D.A. Lenigas [ Executive Chairman] is a bit of a maverick operator with an alleged chequered past...... and may be suited... operating in a politically challenging enviroment.....or maybe not. ? The chinese [as you would be aware] are becoming increasingly active in Africa,and i anticipate 'Uncle Sam' to react accordingly. I dipped my toe in for the modest sum of [ £5k ] in 09 @ 8.4p as a high risk long term punt [10 -- 20yrs ? ].........Phew!...that tested the olde arthritic finger. B/W

..its about the only punt available.... worth the gamble IMO. B/W

Its a frontier market tex...need to get your markers in the ground asap.B/W

Every man/women and dog can play the markets now....with many crackpot systems for doing so....it will all end in tears....imho, B/W

I agree, will be philling my boots asap. B/W

Amusing little spat this morning.......never let facts cloud a good story eh. B/W

If Sage were to hop on the Lonrho train, i envisage him playing the part of "A -No. 1" [ Lee Marvin ] in the film Emperor of the North. [Story of Hobo's free riding trains in 1930s depression ] ...... David Linigas would be the character "Shack " [ Ernest Borgnine]..... Railroad Conductor.... determined to give him a hard time. B/W

Redmane.... may be an apt name....if his posts attract the attention of LONR' s legal department. [ if they have one that is ? ] B/W

Price drop = big wedge waiting in the wings. B/W
