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

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.
