ej have gone from nothing to nine routes and 40 per cent plus of the Northern Ireland market in five years, bringing cheap fares to the market and forcing down fares across the board.
60 consecutive months of growth is, I suspect, a record that no other airline can match in the region.
As has been pointed out in another post, load factors are high and increasing. Mid to high 80s across the network, including NI. As a plc, the company is legally bound to be honest and transparent about these figures, so they must be believed.
In the last full financial year, the airline recorded a small profit during the first half (partly due to easter failling early) and a full year profit of around £70 million.
Given that the airline is now twice the size and yields have held up well during the summer, moreso than Ryanair (plc info), it is not unreasonable to expect that it will once again post a healthy profit this year.
ALLMCC - Even by PPRUNE standards your postings on this matter have been extremly biased, highly uninformed, and frighteningly naive.
You have a real bee in your bonnet about ezy. Get out more!
