I know the news is landing of success with a vaccine trials via Astra and Gilead hence the SP boost.

However I see the UK government have just purchased 65m syringes for the vaccine as it will be delivered in mini bottles! They are saying they are ‘expecting’ a delivery of the vaccine by September 2020!

Have the government bought the syringes to ensure they have enough stock or do they know the vaccine is going to be successful and can roll it out come September.

If so then very good times ahead, quicker than expected.

Even better than the initial calculation.

Currently in the air just now.

30 BA
7 Air Lingus
19 Iberia
25 Vueling

That doesn’t take in to account later or earlier take offs from all IAG airlines. The flight numbers are rising as well as the share price

BA currently have 21 flights in the skies as I type this. Half of these flights still flying to the US! Along side the rest of the Hong Kong, Singapore, Tokyo flights!

There schedule is increasing In the morning with multiple European routes opening up and flights flying to Europe today.

Looking at their larger fleets (circa 450 capacity) it seems there schedules over the past few days (not checked further back) and the next few days coming, that they are flying out in numbers (long haul)!

Take an average of those planes, say 200 put of 460 people flying on each aircraft over the 21 long haul flights at present at an average of say £400 per person.

Thats circa just under 2mil in revenue. Obviously, deduct fuel costs, etc. I’d still say the numbers aren’t the worst that’s been brought in during a crisis where the aviation has been beaten to a pulp. That’s only night time flights also, not calculated a day schedule yet but if you go on the assumption they are flying circa 21 during the day then that’s almost 4mil a day, only from BA, not the rest of the IAG group.

Just a thought and something positive to look at given Europe is going to be a part of BAs flights today.

The resistance has been met with this. If you’re waiting for £6 you’ll be waiting forever. Aviation has opened up in Europe and will reopen in the UK as of Wednesday the 15th.

Give it time jami35.

Rome wasn’t built in a day. Flights now have the official travel clearance from the UK government and are good to go as of today and after checking online there are quite a number of flights that have taken off today.

However the main bulk of the flights commence on the 15th. That’s when all the airline schedules and staff are booked in for to recommence. This should begin to shoot north at its own pace just now give it take all the traders hitting it and then pick up a lot more as of 15th a July.

It’s getting there and with the majority of schedules resuming on 15th July, it should get even better.

Whatamess - “Anyone holding airline stocks in the hope the virus will simply go away cannot calculate risk/reward ratio”

I think you will find not a lot of people that day trade tend to speak on these forums, they just trade literally 10s of stocks each day. It’s mostly investors that are here for the long haul that tend to discuss more on ambition, performance, sp, news, etc, that all affects the company.

So to state that people can’t calculate their risk/reward is a nonsense as more than likely they will be sitting on this until circa £4.50 which if it’s in 2 months time or two years time they know ultimately at one stage once this rubbish has all blown over, this stock will make money again and the SP will rise meaning they get to the end goal of making money, regardless of the bumpy road it takes to get there.

If you’re shorting the stock as an investment strategy then you’re the one that has future problems and has to calculate your risk/reward as one day it will stop going down and fluctuating and just head all the way to where it should be.

BA and BALPA have agreed a few on job losses and pay cuts.

This will get the monkey (MPs and Media) off our backs and let us progress forward with a better financing package for IAG than it currently has.

Good work by trimming salaries and jobs.

Nothing worse than holding on to this for many years and still seeing the -89.47%.

A company that has cheated its shareholders, a CEO that rinses the companies monetary value for personal wealth.

You’re lucky you managed to get out Dodge, however, with the money I have in this dump of a company, I’m going to have to pray and at least hope for a loss of circa 50% before I can I reluctantly pull the plug on this.

I’m not holding my breath with SS in charge. No morals, no commitment, no communication, not fit to be a CEO.

D1arit,

If you’re new I would advise against trading until you learn how the industry works. Keep your money in a stock you believe in and check back in a years time.

For note, bailing on easyjet before they start flying again was a bad idea. A share that has averaged out at £10-12 for the past few years to currently be sitting at £7 is a steal. Planes will fly again regardless of today’s situation. Things will pull back.

Patience is the key

Just wait until the 10th July, which will also include Scotland, NI and Wales within the travel hubs to and from Europe. More airports, more flights, more revenue.

Greek George. I wouldn’t even trust a haircut in Korea

I’d prefer not to watch the news, we all know the manipulation, propaganda, political bias and agenda is what creates “the news” - Not the truth.

That’s why I’d rather have my own sources I go to and from and my own research to get the truth.

Boris Johnson “social distancing will be nothing more than a short-term solution as normality needs to resume for the sake of the economy.”

If this happens soon then I can’t wait to see if the shorters and derampers that are constantly bringing down the mood on here have wisened up and actually invested.

If this happens soon then I can’t wait to see if smithy and co are still around shorting and deramping the stock or will they have turned wide and actually invested.

Received a document tonight that contained information from an embassy in London which basically threw everything up in the air for the release tomorrow as they couldn’t agree on who was being allowed exemption. It suggested that the FCO would be lifting the quarantine rules to the EU and beyond! There would still be some counties in the red zone but the green and amber is in the region of 75 countries!

This is great news!

Https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2020/07/01/75-countries-exempted-quarantine-individual-air-bridge-plan/

I literally came on to mention this as I was sent a document from an embassy tonight that said everything was up in the air and scrapped with a possibility of no quarantine!

Happy days, this makes even better reading for tomorrow’s announcement!

Clark,

As much as you mention the above, we are already in the midst of a recession, in fact the worst since the great depression. However, the ftse just recorded its highest quarter in a decade. Businesses are returning to work, the construction industry is running at full steam trying to meet housing targets by 2021. Food and hospitality (specifically supermarkets) have recorded around 80% rises in profits from last year, online shopping has kept the majority of shops a float and earning, office workers working from home saving the administrative and IT sector, etc.

I know when the furlough payments end, we will see a slight rise in unemployment and a drop in house prices I agree, but, by that time that damage has already been done and beginning its recovery weather its a V shape or a U shape (we won't know) as the majority of sectors have been back working before it ends.

I think most of us came here with the intent of hitting the early teens in the long term. Personally I have a hefty investment in EZY and if I can double my money in 2/3 years I'd say its well worth the wait. However, I expect to make more than double my money in the long term so it's each to their own and only they would know why they came to this stock in the first place.

However, I think you'll find the majority of holders are here for the long term.
