There were small gains for many travel and tourism shares yesterday as London’s equity markets edged ahead.
The FTSE 100 index gained just 1.8 points to end the day at 4565.6, while the FTSE 250 did slightly better and rose 19.3 points to close at 6217.5.
British Airways had a good day, adding 3.25p to end the day at 236p. The Guardian newspaper hails a recovery of sorts for the shares, but the shares are still trading at a significant discount to their 343p high-point for the year, in early March.
