Poor weather in Britain has lifted the fortunes of EasyJet, the company has revealed. People have been flying off in search of the sun and results for the nine months to June 30 were very encouraging, said chief executive Ray Webster. He added he hoped the carrier would be back in the black this year.
British Airways stocks also rose yesterday when chairman Martin Broughton said that dividends were “back on the agenda” after a lean three years.
The FTSE 100 picked up a little pace, closing yesterday up 18.3 points at 4339.4, but the FTSE 250 was down, finishing 17.9 point slower on 6045.6.
