Flight News : Thomas Cook Issues Profit Warning

willow — Sat, 16 Jul 2011 20:38:37 +0000

Thomas Cook Group who operate Thomas Cook Airways and a number of hotel booking websites as well as their package holiday brands have issued their third profits warning of the year leaving their shares down 30% as investors took fright. Thomas Cook Group shares now trade at just 72p, a third of their value of over 200p just a year ago. They are now at their lowest level since the merger with troubled MyTravel in 2007.

Thomas Cook Group trades as Hotels4u and Medhotels as well as other leading UK travel names such as Airtours, Club 18-30 Holidays, Cresta, Cruise Thomas Cook, Direct Holidays, Elegant Resorts, Flexibletrips, Flythomascook.com, Gold Medal, Manos, Neilson, Netflights, Panorama, Pure Luxury, Sentido, Style, Sunset, Sunworld Holidays, Swiss Travel Service, Thomas Cook, Thomas Cook Signature, Thomas Cook Tours and Thomas Cook Sport.

All Thomas Cook Group package holiday bookings are fully protected by ATOL so you can rest assured that your money is safe if you have booked a package holiday with them.

Analyst Morgan Stanley suggested the group would be in “a tough discussion with its banks – we forecast Thomas Cook will come close to its debt covenants in the next six months – while we don’t think it’s that bad, market leaders have collapsed before”.

If we were looking for peace-of-mind for our Hotel and Flight Bookings then the Hotel-Traveller team would probably feel far happier booking hotels and flights online with some of the other flight and hotel booking specialists given the current financial uncertainty.

Bournemouth Airport introduces £2.50 “Drop-off Charge”

willow — Wed, 06 Apr 2011 20:50:51 +0000

Taxi firms are furious and say they will have to pass on a new £2.50 drop-off and pick-up charge at Bournemouth Airport to their customers.

At present, vehicles can park for free at the airport for up to 10 minutes before a £2.50 charge is applied for a stay of between 10 and 30 minutes.

But from 14 April all vehicles will be charged £2.50 for up to 30 minutes.

The airport has confirmed taxis would have to pay per visit as would friends and family for dropping off travellers at the terminal.

Rob Goldsmith, managing director of the airport, said most passengers left their cars at the airport while they were away, paying on-site parking charges “among the cheapest in southern England”.

He added: “However, we know that some people will be disappointed by this change and hope they will understand that this is a commercial decision brought about by the worldwide recession and the subsequent downturn in the aviation industry.”

A number of other airports across the UK have introduced a drop-off charge, including Edinburgh, Newcastle and East Midlands Airport.

Taxi drivers and airport customers have commented that they expect gridlock as people try to make drop-offs without entering the car parks.

One traveller at the terminal today expressed his concerns. “Another nail in the Bournemouth Airport coffin. Management should be trying to make the airport more attractive, not less. Very frustrating”
