Well, the Airtours verdict is now just 3 days away. On Thursday (7 February) the Airtours Group plc will hold their Annual General Shareholders' Meeting (AGM) [at The Crowne Plaza - Midland, Peter Street, Manchester, M60 2DS] at 11:30am.
There the question of the offical name change of the group to MyTravel will be put to the many shareholders of the Airtours group by the board of ten executive directors.
The idea was announced on 27 November 2001 and has been introduced to the shareholders in this year's Annual Group Report. According to the new plan, most areas of the group will fall under this rebrand including the airline group (which includes Airtours International, Premiair, etc) and the Going Places high-street shops. Only the Airtours Holidays name will survive due to the large customer recognition factor.
The agreement of the shareholders is vital in the name change for without it, it will not go-ahead.
That decision is in T-minus 3 days and counting. I personally do hope that the change does not happen but that is only my opinion. I am eager to see what happens.
May the Airtours name live on. <img src="frown.gif" border="0">
