There were mixed fortunes for travel and tourism shares yesterday as London’s main equity indices stalled.
The FTSE 100 index dropped 6.3 points to end the day at 4512.4, while the broader-based FTSE 250 did slightly better, adding 5.1 points to close at 6257.7.
British Airways once again led the way, adding another 6.25p to close at 278.75p after an identical price move yesterday. The Guardian attributes yesterday’s rise to an upgrade by the broker JP Morgan.
