Ryanair on Monday posted its largest after-tax profit for the October-December quarter and said bookings for Easter and summer flights in recent weeks were "very robust", boosted by demand from Asian travelers and a strong U.S. dollar. "We had record bookings in week two and week three of January, very robust demand into Easter and the summer without fare stimulation," he said. The Irish airline, Europe's largest by passenger numbers, said it had earned 211 million euros ($229.40 million) in the three months ended Dec. 31, the third quarter of its financial year. "With Asian tourists now returning and a strong U.S. dollar encouraging Americans to explore Europe, we're seeing robust demand," Chief Executive Officer Michael O'Leary said in a statement. Last week, rivals Wizz Air and EasyJet reported strong summer bookings.

[1/2] People stand next to a Wizz Air aircraft at Ferenc Liszt International Airport in Budapest, Hungary, August 18, 2022. Low cost rivals Ryanair (RYA.I), Europe's biggest airline, and Britain's easyJet (EZJ.L) have reported record bookings for summer holidays, in a sign that consumers are still keen on trips despite a looming recession. Asked if Wizz had seen the same, CEO József Váradi said: "Bookings are strong, but I don't want to get over-excited." Separately on Thursday, British airline and holiday group Jet2 (JET2.L) upgraded its annual profit forecast after strong demand for winter holidays and said bookings for the summer were encouraging. For the new financial year, Wizz will benefit from hedging and new capacity, forecasting growth of 25% to 30% this summer versus last, helping unit costs to improve.

Shares in ASML were lower after the results, having rallied recently to hit their highest since last April. Helped by strong orders in Europe, French train maker Alstom (ALSO.PA) posted an 8% rise in third-quarter sales. While it is still early in the corporate earnings season, the results offer some hope that recent economic data which has buoyed equities this month is grounded in reality. Swiss asset manager GAM (GAMH.S) meanwhile warned on profits after experiencing negative asset flows, knocking its shares 2.5% lower in early morning trading.

[1/2] FILE PHOTO-Planes of German air carrier Lufthansa are parked as Lufthansa pilots start a strike over a wage dispute, at the airport in Frankfurt, Germany, September 2, 2022. REUTERS/Kai PfaffenbachROME/FRANKFURT, Jan 18 (Reuters) - German carrier Lufthansa (LHAG.DE) said on Wednesday it had offered to buy an minority stake in ITA Airways, betting on reviving the loss-making successor to Italy's Alitalia and expanding its footprint in Europe. One of the sources said it was valued at 200-300 million euros ($540 million). The new right-wing administration in Rome passed a decree in December to initially sell a minority stake through capital increases, in order to speed up a full divestment in ITA. "Acquiring ITA is one of the most challenging propositions in European aviation: the airline has been persistently loss-making," said Bernstein analyst Alex Irving.
The region-wide STOXX 600 (.STOXX) was flat as of 9:31 GMT, while the FTSE 100 <.FTSE> advanced 0.7% as commodity-linked and China-exposed stocks jumped in early trading. The UK market, which was closed for holidays since its half-day trading on Friday, is playing catch-up, analysts said. The FTSE 100 index has benefited this year from its exposure to commodities as prices of oil and base metals have rallied amid the Russia-Ukraine war. Meanwhile, STOXX 600 was headed for an annual loss of 12.2% as concerns about an economic recession due to aggressive monetary policy tightening by central banks globally weighed on the European index. The technology sector (.SX8P) weighed on STOXX 600 on Wednesday, tracking the overnight fall in U.S. peers as rising yields pressured the interest rate sensitive shares, a recurring theme this year.
The Irish airline, Europe's largest by passenger numbers, earned 1.371 billion euros ($1.36 billion) in the six months to the end of September, the first half of its financial year. While that was just short of a forecast of 1.385 billion in a company poll of analysts, it was well ahead of its previous first-half record of 1.29 billion euros in 2017. "We expect these strong fundamentals will continue to underpin robust traffic and average fare growth for the next 18-months at least," he said. Profit and traffic are poised for "very strong growth" until 2025 assuming oil prices remain relatively stable, he added in a video presentation. However, while the airline is planning for the deliver of 51 737 MAX aircraft by next summer, O'Leary said he was concerned Boeing might fall short.
Ryanair earned 1.371 billion euros ($1.36 billion) in the six months to the end of September. While the winter will be loss-making, Ryanair expects an after-tax profit of between 1 billion and 1.2 billion euros for the year to March 31, though that forecast remains "hugely dependent" on no adverse shocks. "Concerns about the impact of recession and rising consumer price inflation on Ryanair’s business model have been greatly exaggerated in recent months," O'Leary said in a statement. "We expect these strong fundamentals will continue to underpin robust traffic and average fare growth for the next 18-months at least," he said. In a pre-recorded video presentation he predicted very strong growth in profit and traffic over the next three years assuming oil prices remain relatively stable.

Wizz Air eyes more growth, sees travel demand holding up
  + stars: | 2022-11-02 | by ( Sarah Young | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
Wizz's upbeat forecast chimes with the outlook from other European airlines including British Airways-owner IAG (ICAG.L) and Lufthansa (LHAG.DE), which have all said they are seeing continued growth in ticket sales. Chief executive Jozsef Varadi said on Wednesday that bookings were holding up strongly: "So far we are seeing no indication of a drop in demand so we remain confident." But it is lower than the 40% capacity growth that analysts had been expecting, reflecting Wizz's caution over the resilience of its operations following airport disruption which hurt it last spring, and partly to protect unit revenues. "You obviously have a company which is going for a lot of growth in this type of market," he said. "I don't think we are a target, or we can be a target on that basis," he said.
Wizz Air plans to grow by 35% as travel demand holds up

LONDON, Nov 2 (Reuters) - Budget airline Wizz Air (WIZZ.L) said it planned to grow its capacity by 35% in the six months to the end of March as demand for travel remained strong despite the pressure on household budgets from inflation. "So far we are seeing no indication of a drop in demand so we remain confident," chief executive Jozsef Varadi said on Wednesday. Hungary-based Wizz posted core earnings for its seasonally strong June-September quarter of 374 million euros ($369 million). That represented a recovery from the previous period when staff shortages at airports dragged the airline to a loss. Overall the airline posted an operating loss of 63.8 million euros for the March to September half.
UK pharmaceuticals stocks (.FTNMX201030) rose 1.2% after GSK (GSK.L) said it expects sales to rise between 8% and 10%, sending its shares up 1.2%. The blue-chip FTSE 100 (.FTSE) was flat, while the mid-cap FTSE 250 (.FTMC) fell 0.4% by 0934 GMT, dragged down by budget airline Wizz Air (WIZZ.L) after it said uncertainty for consumers rose. Third-quarter earnings among companies on the FTSE 100 have so far painted a mixed picture, as some firms performed better than expected as COVID restrictions eased globally, while some battled supply chain snags and surging inflation.

В мире “Такие решения превращают авиацию в игрушку политики”. В WizzAir раскритиковали ограничение полетов над БеларусьюРуководитель венгерского лоукостера Wizz Air раскритиковал решение ряда стран запретить полеты над территорией Беларуси после инцидента с самолетом Ryanair, который завернули в Минск для ареста оппозиционера, заявив, что такие решения “превращают авиацию в игрушку политики”. Это политическая мера, а не мера безопасности”, – добавил он. Варади отметил, что такое решение еще более усложняет положение авиакомпаний, которым и так нелегко из-за пандемии коронавируса. По его словам, на Wizz Air это повлияет несущественно, так как рейсы, которых бы это касалось, и так приостановлены из-за связанных с пандемией ограничений.

Такие известные компании, как KLM, Air France, Lufthansa, SAS (Швейцария), LOT (Польша), Wizz Air, Air Baltic, Singapore Airlines, тоже отказались от полетов над Беларусью. В этом контексте лидеры ЕС на встрече в Брюсселе решили в понедельник вечером закрыть воздушное пространство Евросоюза для самолетов из Беларуси в качестве санкции против режима президента Александра Лукашенко, обвиняемого в заказе угона авиалайнера Ryanair, выполняющего рейс Афины-Вильнюс, для ареста журналиста Романа Протасевича.
