Pitiful volume again. You have to wonder about the future of this listing.

Mainly tiny A trades.

The difference between cancelled and suspended is the resources in place in Israel. The flights are suspended the resources redeployed. Staff on the ground relocated or removed. Easyjet has suspended operations in Israel until they choose to restart them.

Easyjet are firm that this is a commercial decision but I don't think that the Israelis see it that way.

Wizz appear desperate with their new offer. Share price continues to collapse.

The Portugal aircraft will not be redeployed. The operation is at capacity currently and there's no slack to take up the crewing elsewhere and all flights are well established months in advance.

The vital routes are protected from strike action by the Portuguese government so the Island flights are never subject to strike.

Like the new transport workers legislation in the UK strike action available is very limited.

Beo you have to consider the rebooked flights which were now all short notice bookings at premium rate.

The Israel service is suspended not cancelled, aircraft are redeployed. This happened at the same time that we saw all the new routes so clearly they are busy elsewhere.

I hope easyJet doesn't return to Israel at any time.

I think that a token £100m buyback is a possibility.

Those jobs cannot come to the UK. These aircraft hubs are essential and crew can't be routinely resting away from there home location.

Already the UK has a disproportionate amount of staff and aircraft meaning the majority of the first wave flights are from the UK. Not great for those arriving at the airport at 0330 for an 0530 flight.

Easyjet would not be managing risk well to be exposed to controlling power by the unions. As it is any industrial action is very limited

They have managed the cancelled the flights using Portuguese cabin crew. They did this two weeks ago before the compensation deadline. There are still many flights to Portugal on easyJet from other hubs and the Portuguese government has some routes protected against industrial action.

The disruption is annoying for customers but for easyJet it's not a big issue. Other flights where available attracted a good premium.

This year so far disruption and cancellation has been at record lows in the summer quarter.

The market has priced in strike action by pilots which was never on the agenda as BALPA approved the rejected deal. After that they would never recommend strike action.

The Portugal strike whilst inconvenient causes minimal disruption. The flights were cancelled with more than 14 days notice so no compensation and the remaining seats on. Flights without Portuguese crew are attracting a healthy premium.

It does reduce the daily profit from 19 aircraft but ultimately it is not a disaster like we have seen before.

The level of disruption is minimal this year.

Halfway through the quarter and maybe 3 weeks until the premium period ends. So far they are well ahead of last year.

Easyjet performance will no doubt continue to exceed the share price.

Clearly they have a very valuable asset currently valued zero.

I think that results are too far off to gain any traction.

Easyjet are having a record summer but the market won't hear about that until October and I think that's just too far away for most.

Until then easyjet are lumped in with the losers like ryanair

I don't think that anyone is making a few % profit trading. Given the costs any profits on ebb and flow and fractions of 1%. If a day is too long to hold them the UK is dead.

All external factors and "fear" of fantasy external factors are just nonsense. They have a disproportionate impact on the share price because traders visualise them as reasons for others to make decisions. Of course they have no material impact on the commercial activity.

Currently in this record summer quarter the only information worth anything is the disruption and cancellations level.

The tickets are sold, the only factor now is; does the flight complete. Every day without disruption and cancellations produces around £9m profit. Days of massive disruption and cancellation can easily generate a £20m loss. The critical detail is the level compared to last year. Guidance will be based on the expected level of disruption. If it's less targets are exceeded given that they are set with a large percentage of the seats already sold.

Currently this year disruption and cancellations have been absolutely minimal, compensation payments way below previous years.

I expect the quarter results to be exceptional if the situation remains the same.

Of course it's a non story. Previously it was automatically added and now it's not. All holidays are of flexible length we have many 3 or 4 days but the average is 8.

This gives a more competitive product and better value for the customer.

Q1 Easyjet will be strong compared to this year. Already holiday bookings to the end of the year are looking strong. Our second year for this period and October and November are substantially ahead. December early is quiet and Christmas is looking very busy already.

The beauty of easyjet holidays is the ability to bid for business on their platform at price variations.

It's a very strong tool for hoteliers.

Of course anything could happen but here we are half way through Q4 on another record summer and almost no disruption with significant financial consequences.

External factors that influence the share price of course have some short term control but traders are not of value to me either way.

It should be becoming obvious now to investors that Easyjet are disconnected from ryanair and wizz and certainly from Jet2. Easyjet are clear winners and this has received zero value on the share price.

The current share price doesn't value the airline let alone the holiday business.

So whilst it could go here and it could go there ultimately the product is worth so much more than the price so will pay for an investor. For a trader who really cares

I expect the management to announce support for the share price with a £100m share purchase. I believe that we'll hear about that in the full year report.

The share price is ridiculous and they can clearly see that. Although £100m is modest it will show recognition of their agenda to support the share price.

Over weeks ahead... very useful. I think that we can all see that it will go up and down several times in the weeks ahead.

The trend is still down as it has been since the spring despite strong commercial performance. Given the downtrend it's easy to assume that it will continue to step down. Traders will try to sell that story after they have taken their pocket money.

Are there enough investors to turn the trend around.

Another very low volume day. The market is all but closed down. A handful of meaningful trades. The LSE is a wasteland

The important operational factors for the next 8 weeks but especially the next 5 weeks whilst they are at capacity are the events causing disruption and cancellation of flights.

The weekend went with very minor issues that I can see.

We have the cabin crew strikes for Portugal based aircraft for 3 days 15-17 August that has resulted in 164 flight cancellations, no compensation payments and premium fares on flights to Portugal from other hubs.

French ATC action appears to be having less and less impact as business works around the issue but we can definitely expect more.

Assuming that's it we'll have 5+ more disruption free days than last year which even forgetting loss and compensation amounts to around £45m extra profit.

I am most interested in the winter schedule because there's so much to gain from the holidays business here. The OTAs will feel the pain.
