Advent Air* saw its shares firm 2p to 9.5p after Growth Equity & Company Research initiated its coverage of the stock with a "buy" stance. The company also announcing that passenger numbers for the month had increased by 11.73% over the previous year. Skywest traffic, measured by revenue passenger kilometres increased by 12.62%, while capacity, measured by available seat kilometres increased by 14.13% over the same period. Load Factor decreased by 0.66pts to 48.87% compared to the previous year.

How often do you come accross a firm that is capped at 8.8m has a turnover of 16m is profitable with a P/E of just 7.5

Trading truly at a discount and now starting to recover back to more sensible levels.

Starting to move back higher.

From UK Analasyst

We initiated coverage of Advent Air on 17th March, recommending the stock as a buy at 7.5p. Shares in this Australian based airline have since risen by nearly 20% to 9.5p as a result of strong newsflow. Advent owns 60% of Skywest Ltd, an ASX listed and profitable airline company. It also has a firm purchase agreement with China Express to buy a further 22% and thus has de facto control over 82% of the company. Skywest has acted as a regional airline for the last 40 years and has a monopoly of air services in the major coastal towns of Western Australia. It is set to benefit from the growth in the mining sector as it provides an increasing amount of transportation for the industry. The company operates a fleet of five, wholly owned Fokker 50 turbo prop and three leased Fokker 100 jet aircrafts and it holds an Australian high capacity air operator's certificate.

The company's strategy is to grow the business both organically and through acquisition. It believes it can extend its route network by adding additional locations, expand freight capacity thereby increasing passenger numbers. The group has much of its upside locked in through long term contracts signed with the likes of Kimberly Diamonds, Argyle Diamond Mines and Barminco. On 5th April, the company announced another contract win. Newmont Tanami has signed up Advent to provide air charter services between Perth and the mine site located at Granites. This four year contract should add A$3.2 million to annual revenues. Passenger numbers have shown a sharp month on month increase with the last statistics recording a 20% increase. Advent issued a quarterly update on its cash flow status, at March 31st 2006, the group had cash balances of A$7.4 million. And it is clear that Advent is looking to increase its stake in Skywest, on 13th April it acquired another 330,000 shares. The acquisition of the remaining stake in Skywest means that Advent will gain access to tax losses, pushing up earnings significantly.

Advent's last set of interim results to December 2005 saw turnover rise to A$38.06 million with profits increasing 14 fold to A$1.5 million. Assuming Advent manages to gain a 100% stake in its subsidiary, GE&CR is forecasting revenues of 39.1 million pounds for the year to June 2006, profits of 1.6 million pounds and earnings of 2.3p. At 9.5p, we re-iterate our buy stance

Evening Clive!

Good evening Andy. Anything else ?

Clive,

No just saying hello.

Advent seems to be a popular stock at the moment, and if I had some spare funds I may consider an investment, but the price of fuel is a concern maybe?

They may have a hedge of cousre, most airlines do, but I would want to know when it runs out.

I would imagine so Andy but being able to buy at this level should be extremly good when prices drop.

Paying over the odds on qty now.

moneyman,

You didn't mention the placing!

8.25p per share, now we see why the price fell a few days ago!

At least it forms a base here IMO.

Skywest commences expansion of services to Exmouth, Western Australia


The Company announces that its Skywest Ltd subsidiary ("Skywest") has expanded
its services into Exmouth, which is a major tourist and business destination
located adjacent to the "Vincent" oil project field development operated by
Woodside Petroleum and Mitsui in Western Australia. Skywest is the only airline

jet services to Exmouth by adding a new service each Thursday to its schedule,
commencing from 4 May 2006. The 100-seater Fokker 100 service will now operate
on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays, with the Sunday flight connecting to Broome.
Skywest will maintain its daily Fokker 50 service to Exmouth on Mondays,
Wednesdays and Saturdays, and it's twice daily Fokker 50 service on Fridays


Skywest's Chief Executive Officer, Johanna Ramsay said:


"The additional jet service allows for an increase in tourism for the Exmouth/
Coral Bay region. We are delighted to be introducing more capacity for both the
leisure and corporate consumer into Exmouth and Coral Bay. Since February,
Skywest has introduced an additional 416 seats on this route each week,
significantly increasing air access to the Coral Coast, one of Western
Australia's idyllic tourist destinations. Skywest will continue to work with all
regional communities and industry representatives in responding to increasing
demand by adding capacity as required."

minutes. Skywest offers customers a Premium Economy Class service, with extended
legroom, hot meals and bar service on all flights.

More descent size buying in today. Is someone accumulating here ?

moneyamn,

Well if they are, they're not moving the price.

Yet

moneyman,

There are exactly 37001 buys today, with a value of 3,701, quite small by market standards, so I think there will have to be a significant increase on this before the price will move, at this rate.

Andy add these to the other few days trades and look at stock in issue.

Starting to move up strongly now and debt free.

moneyman,

IMHO, It would be a good rise if it was backed up by some real volume, but even today' s trades are low by LSE standards, still only around 40,000 by value traded, which is peanuts.

Andy,

I respect some of your posts but that was absolute bollox ! You know full well that there has been volume but over a few weeks and hence the subsequent rise.

moneyman,

Well in that case where is the volume?

I read the article in Shares Mag, and a friend mentioned AAIR to me around the same time, so I have been watching it ever since, and I certainly haven't seen what I consider to be any real volume in the stock, to be honest.

Let's just see what this week brings, it certainly looks an interesting company, and I may buy a few if I have some spare funds.

Andy 97M shares in issue and tightly held hence with the illiquidity the wide spread and rapid rises. I hope you do get a few as this looks destined to climb higher.

I do like this stock. Making money, money in the bank, expanding and debt free.

Best of all keeps moving higher

Andy are you going to sit around watching this move higher or join the investors club ?

I've been in this one for months now, very good share even before it became debt free. One of Skywests rivals (Skipper), has just pulled the plug on it's Geraldton servce, SkyWest now have a monopoly on that route aswell. I tried booking a flight, no chance until end of June.
