A319 : "Check me, I just sold my last ticket to Southampton for a fortune"

A320 : "Hold my Beer!"

Good luck all for tomorrow (and Wednesday!)

We need more APD so we can subsidies train journeys that people will take instead of flying, oh wait what :-)

Tiny PE ratio

The Gatwick Jet2 destination list reads like the Easyjet favorites list - Just goes to show that the holiday margins are the ones to chase. The holiday profit can subsidise the flight to a certain extent.

Easyjet comments on the APD should be expected, If you don't shout then more tax will be grabbed, for the government to dress this as a green agenda is crazy, a tourist or business visitor add hundreds of times the APD to the economy. If they are price sensitive at booking time then they go elsewhere - nobody wins.

Is he planning a sequal for the collapse, fire sale and dismantling of the company? Too Savage?

Ball park I think nearer £20M

2% of the company is around £80,000,000, then the shares drop 25% for the buyback.

Unless I don't understand it right?

To be honest. They deserve slating given the share performance.

You can't pump the investors for placings in the bad times then keep all the profits in the good times. We're investing to make a fair return, has this ex Tui lot done that, don't make me laugh!

Current uptick is probably MSC building a stake :-)

So what would they do to defend against a takeover? Assuming management are not already 'all in' for a bargain takeover?

The best way would be to make it more expensive for the buying party and that would mean lifting the share price with a slowed down investment plan and sweat the assets a bit longer?

Maybe maybe my luck has finally changed.

Let's have another bidder!

I know it's moving up as Savage is in full panic attack. Try breathing in a paper bag me old matey.

5 year performance update

- IAG UP 300%

- EZJ down 7%

FML!

Holiday spending is definitely the last extravagance to get cut by households.

I know people who won't go out in the UK now, too expensive, they need to keep the money for 4 holidays a year :-) This is money is reporting staying in as the new going out.

I can see we are getting to the stage where independently run hospitality like bars, cafes and restaurants will be adopting French opening hours to save on staff wages, 3 days or 3 evenings a week coming soon, run mostly by the owner and a few casuals!

Right-o course your getting in! When it's £3.65, he'll be calling it at £2

Yes it looks like Jarvis is in the staff sharesave scheme. No doubt he has options that don't show here just like Jokehan.

He really needs to come out with not only some good results but also with some Stellios razzmatazz come results day. How about blowing on about the benefits of the new fleet rollout or the most flexible holiday offerings ever! No doubt it will be 'there is risks here and here and here'

P/E should be around 6. 1.5B would take control of this company making 700M profit!

Jet2 recovering nicely. Fits the pattern of everything drags down EZJ, nothing lifts it.

Trojan, - you've found your perfect company here. If there are in a tight spot the ask you for more money or issue more shares. If they have excess money they keep it! :-) Makes them a safer investment for sure!

Feels like a long wait until results now. With the management track record of briefing out the bad rather than the good I expect we will have yet another year of... well... BS.

Back to school this week closing off the gouging period.

I would say that is the best summer season for 6 years - least disruption that is.

This company cannot justify holding 80% of the profits at £700M PBT when they pumped shareholders for £1.8B during covid (placings and rights issues). That is probably why the shares do not reflect the real value. We had a bad run - Brexit, Covid, Ukraine. Is it true that bad things come in 3's, it does not seem that way in the travel industry, we get sh*fted every year almost. I shall keep the faith for another year while all the nutters make a fortune (Crypto, Gold, Tech, even Index Trackers)

Great result = shares drop,

Planes whack each other = shares rise

Go figure!
