I must say looking at the TUI update they seem on course for another strong year. Down about 11% on the news. The early bookings are in line with the expected. The growth is 2% on a record year last year.

The write up says airlines are struggling. That's nonsense. Wizz and ryanair have a very specific issues. This has created opportunities at easyjet TUI and others.

"TUI shares sank more than 9% after it was revealed Tuesday that bookings growth weakened. Europe's largest travel operator warned bookings were only up 2% for the upcoming summer, with one third of packages sold. Group CEO Sebastian Ebel said growth slowed as TUI eased off on expanding capacity and on pricing. Demand was also moving to new destinations and away from previously strong markets, like Turkey. He added there was a slight dip in bookings after Christmas, but said the trend is due to recover. The share fall comes despite TUI reporting a jump in first-quarter profit. The German group said earnings before tax reached $52.55 million, way up from around $6 million a year before. It also kept its profit outlook for the coming year. European airlines struggled last year, but travel companies like TUI did well from a resurgence in packaged holidays. Vacationers have turned to all-inclusive package holidays due to soaring hotel and flight prices"

Why would cars be shipped from the US. Much more likely that it will increase production locally. Currently very few cars come from the US. Europe consumes from Europe and Morocco mainly.

The US are consumers, the auto industry in the US is for the home market.

EasyJet holidays are carving out a substantial business. All other providers will feel the squeeze.

Some of the higher end products will be swapped out for packages and easyJet has been very successful so far in converting the holidaymaker.

MaryBr. America is not united behind trump at all. That is utter nonsense.

I think that you are delusional.

trump is not going to solve anything with his childish view or world dynamics. Most Americans I know are embarrassed by him.

I returned my US passport, I do not want anything to do with them. I have lots of family on the west coast and in Florida. They are feeling the hatred trump is spewing and are in fear for their future

Osuka yes 77m but 161m were eligible to vote.

There are many reasons not to visit the us.

There are more today than ever before.

Resetting the world........the world did not vote for trump. The world does not buy American greatness. Only in Hollywood are America great.

I am left very confused by the IAG share price. It seems to me that trump is seeking to isolate the US which means that transatlantic activity will decrease. He is creating a feel bad factor about the US that can only produce negative feelings and hatred towards the US and American people. This must substantially reduce the number of people traveling for leisure. Why would anyone want to go there at the moment, lining trump and musks pockets. This likely shunning of the US must lead to a reduction in transatlantic demand. I do not understand why that is not impacting IAG as much as easyJet who do not fly there. It is much more likely to create an EU focused resilience and demand.

Obviously as trump becomes more extreme in his fantasy of American greatness this will get very ugly for them. Will the world allow trump set the rules or will they just exclude him and América making new trade deals amongst themselves.

Certainly we will see a global move against all things American, this creates new opportunities.

I wouldn't want to be buying us made aircraft right now. Prices will be rising all over but in the us I suspect that they just will be destroyed by what is happening.

Investors exiting until the dust settles. The dust won't settle unless someone ends trump.

The oil price has almost no impact on easyJet. Any excuse

Typical ryanair nonsense. Accusing Aena of having a monopoly. How many airports have more than one operator... It's ryanair that has the monopoly at these underused airports. If they can't make money then it's not because it's too expensive, people will always pay more for a convenient departure airport and time.

Commercially a frustrating weekend. A flight from Egypt diverted to Athens as the first officer was taken ill at the wheel. Overnight accommodation for all in the local hotels which in Athens aren't that local. Financial hit there.

Málaga airport talk of expansion beyond the 30m current capacity. Could be strong for easyJet.

Oil up as they digest tariff news. Tariffs will restrict global activity so are negative for oil and it should be heading to the $60 range.

The rest is business as normal.

Locally I would like to see more orange at Seville airport. They are massive at Málaga and have Gibraltar routes but it's a big opportunity.

Dr Maze absolutely true. The market is predisposed to trading patterns and actively seeks them out for guidance. The commercial success has no connection to the stock market valuation. The market is not looking at the business but at any short term fluctuations as an opportunity to steal from eachother. I am not interested in this as I wish the business to grow and be recognised away from the others as a unique proposition.

The wizz price is totally irrational. The airline has lost volume and that won't simply return when they have access to their fleet again. It's set them back years and it will take several years to recover

Thumper wrong and wrong I suspect.

Wizz is ridiculous. Lots more pain ahead for them before the market realises that they have been in decline whilst other made huge advances. Their market position will be greatly reduced as they emerge from the crisis

I was a week early with my view for the Q1 update to bite into the chart. We look on for a assault on £6 over the next few weeks

Tariffs for anyone opposing the madness no doubt.

Will the UK fold or play.....

Trump now head to head with the UK over his "idea" for Israel to hand the US Gaza after the fighting to transform it into the united states of Israel.

What's going to happen next do you think......

Of course you care about disinfectant because it was his idea of the day. Captain knee jerk. What's it going to be tomorrow. When he targets you your view will change and you won't be so dismissive of it

You need to understand the housing issue here. I have several houses near Málaga that I let. They are worth less than €200k. They are 15 minutes from the technology park.

City centre is not where the tourists want to go, they want the coast or the mountains. The housing crisis is very specific as areas in city centre is cleared for redevelopment

Poker. I am on the Costa Mijas. It's very easy to buy here for that money. Almería is even cheaper.
