Anyone want to guess why MOL didn't get a comment on the press release. Very unlike him not to take the chance to slam EI, EU or the UK competition aoutority.
Very strange.

Sober Lark, indeed it does !! It's a pity the pooches who post on here appear to be a cross between a Bulldog and a Shih Tzu.....

So he says he will only sell to another European Airline? Typical MOL, he knows the only Airlnes in Europe who could afford that right now are IAG and Luftie, and if they did take over I can't see the incredibly successful trans Atlantic situation for EI continuing. Why won't he sell to a hedge fund or to the stock market?
I'd be curious to know what share price he would sell at even if this ridiculous criteria was met. It's smoke and mirrors from him as usual

Sale
I believe ducksie is playing a clever game here,
Probable that FR shareholding must be sold , shareholders have taken a huge loss on Ducksie,s folly, shares were purchased en masse at 3.30 !!!! What a mug
Anyway any comment now is solely to increase the share price, I love this approach, the market reaction to this appears to favour the idea of a sale , demand has increased for the limited shares in play, maybe for the first time ever ducksie has got it right on EI

One thing at Ryanair and Aer Lingus can agree is the Irish Government trying bill the carriers for 8 in back tax per passenger after the EU ruled two different taxes based on distance travelled was illegal. Both are taken legal action.

More crew shortages. This time CCMs which were needed to cover other flights. Rather than bin a couple of 320 flights it was considered cost effective to hire in and release the 8 cabin crew for other flights. There was also a 737 helping out as well. Last week there were various cancellations due to flight crew shortages as well.

Not sure the 767 to AGP was crewing but it was to recover their T/A schedule. The aircraft that used had a delay of around 5 hours on Friday and only this morning it was more less on track, It would of cost them a lot if passengers continued to miss connections for 4 days in a row. The rest of the LH fleet was behind.
It was around 5 30 on Sat when it arrived back from AGP and then around 70 minute turnaround to JFK which takes that departure to 3h30m delay and that would be.a knock on for Sundays AGP and JFK.

What A Shame
Aer Lingus loss widens in first half of 2013 - Tourism News | Travel & Tourism Industry News | The Irish Times - Wed, Jul 31, 2013
I'm pretty certain the ad hoc 'Hire In' of Titan 767, 757 and 737 every couple of days has been a factor in this also. What are the costs of hiring these aircraft does anyone know?

Not so sure as this report is Jan to Jun
There were a few sub ins in may June but this contingency is built into the plan so some minor impact only.
Costs up associated with significant increase in T/A capacity , this extra capacity was all sold AND at increased average fares...not bad !

Interesting to note weakness in UK routes. Is this related to APD and the fact passengers can avoid transiting in UK as DUB is now served by EK and Unmentionable? Also, with the fantastic summer weather we have had here this year perhaps people won't see the need to get away this Autumn, Winter and next spring.

It's the little red costs that increased the losses, extended leases, staff and significant increase in airport charges because of this operation. All in all a good set of results and better than most carriers around.
They did say bookings in July were hit by the weather but they said overall bookings for second half of the year were up.
