Dart Group PLC ("the Company")
AGM Statement
Dart Group PLC is pleased to announce that all of the ordinary and special resolutions proposed at today's Annual General Meeting were approved.
Commenting on current trading, Philip Meeson, Chairman and Chief Executive, said "The Board is encouraged by the Group's trading performance. Fowler Welch-Coolchain, our Distribution business, has continued to deliver revenue growth although operating margins have been under some pressure.
The Aviation business has delivered both higher load factors and yields than last year in its scheduled flying operations, despite the disruption to the business caused by the volcanic ash cloud, with continued growth in Jet2holidays.
Jet2.com continues to expand the number of leisure routes it serves, with further growth planned for Summer 2011.
Overall, the business is trading ahead of current market expectations."
