Aer Lingus have begun discussions with the relevant party's with respect to the pension fund deficit. . Although they are not legally liable for it, an agreed solution will be in the long term good of th company.

19:26 26/01/2012 Irish Share Valuations
Hi folks,

Just posted Part II of The Great Irish Share Valuation Project on my blog. I'm setting a Fair Value Price Target for every listed Irish company.

So far I've valued 2 dozen companies, including Aer Lingus. AERL is the actually most under-valued stock identified to date, and has rallied sharply from EUR 0.64 when I first published a valuation:

I hope you'll take a look (plse don't hesitate to comment/email me), and perhaps become a regular reader.

Cheers,

Hi,
I am interested in this share however I am a bit concern of the euro price at the moment (£0.90)I never bought shares in different currency than pound so if any1 could explain I'd be pleased.Maybe it's a silly question but If I buy now and the euro will go down to £0.84 does this mean I will loose eventhough the share price doesn't move down at all?
Thanks By mynumber
12:57 24/02/2011 Wonderful Farce Continues
See today's announcement re £32.5 million euro provision to pay Irish Revenue for mistake in not taxing Employees Redundancy payments etc.

Government owns 25% of Aer Lingus and it is obliged to sell soon under terms of IMF bail-out.

So Revenue will get 32.5 m.

But the sale of the 25% stake will be worth about 50m. less (at least)

Wonderful. Wonderful. By le professeur
12:16 23/07/2010 Things looking alot brighter
After being on my watch list for a while, I have bought in. The recent statement was quite upbeat (worst scenario is breaking even) which IMO is excellent news for AER. Hopefully the figures in August will help the sp.

Good Luck to all By NewTrader2006

16:17 03/11/2009 Ryanair question
Hi all. Quick question. Assuming Ryanair were to make another bid for Aer Lingus, from what date are they allowed to make the offer? Isn't there something about them having to wait a year from previous offer?

TIA. By rocksteady-

Comment: O’Leary still circling around Aer Lingus
27 September 2009

"As Christoph Mueller, the new chief executive of Aer Lingus, steels himself for the first of many battles with unions over radical plans to strip out €100million in costs, he can at least console himself that his noisy peer across the car park at Dublin Airport will give him a little breathing space.

Last week, Michael O’Leary, chief executive of Ryanair, used his airline’s agm to play down speculation about a third attempt to take over Aer Lingus.

O’Leary said it was ‘‘highly unlikely’’ that a third offer would be made any time soon, but he was uncharitable in outlining his reasons why.

According to O’Leary, Aer Lingus remains doomed to stumble through the tough, recession-filled years that lie ahead, slowly but surely eroding its cash reserves, while it beavers away in its efforts to return to profitability.

Once the cash runs out, Aer Lingus will, in O’Leary’s mind, need its shareholders to stump up and ensure that its planes can remain in the sky. And that could be its downfall as an independent entity. Attempts to tap shareholders for cash will not be helped by Aer Lingus’s complicated ownership. With a cash-strapped government holding 25 per cent of the airline and unions and staff (whose pockets are hardly overflowing) holding 15 per cent, Mueller would be unwise to expect them to follow their money in a future fundraising.

Which leaves a relatively small number of institutional shareholders - and Ryanair. O’Leary would be only too pleased to inject more money into his domestic rival - but only in return for control.

Mueller will hope it won’t come to that and that staff will recognise the urgency of Aer Lingus getting its house in order.

But the doomsday clock is already ticking.

## Aer Lingus has slashed the price of its business class seats to E400 to the US - a seventh of the regular price. In a further indication of plunging premium seat sales Etihad Airlines is selling two business class tickets for the price of one. Airlines have been struggling to fill seats in its business class section over the last year. Aer Lingus is offering business class to Boston and New York for 400 euro from Ireland, Chicago and Washington for 500 euro and San Francisco for 600 euro. - Irish Examiner By HOG400
