Anyone know why BAY is rising so strongly in spite of all the bad news regarding delayed flights, etc.?
All comments appreciated

POST that on the easyjet thread bayliss,whilst easy are a n incredible success and have made me mega profit,its a completly different animal to BA.

BAYLIS The last time I looked "RYANAIR AND EASYJET" did not fly longhaul out of Heathrow.

ok sorry.

Chart don't look good...280p on the way.

286p now. BA will slide past 280p easily.

KEEP BUYING!

AND keep losing money.

Why keep loosing money?,biggest profits ever posted,valuble heathrow slots,high oil prices ,uncertainty of open skies,move to terminal 5,way oversold,this has been my best performing share,average price 190,buy on the lows sell on the highs.

267.5p at the mo. I think it will go to 240p.

I See it going lower terminal 5 a joke, 195p

When can sharehoders expect a dividend. Is this company being run for the benefit of employees, trade unions , directors , passengers, suppliers, aircraft manufacturers, leasing companies,fuel suppliers, airport owners, the inland revenue,etc..... It is certainly not being run for the benefit of the environment or the long suffering shareholders.

Trust BA to fly in the opposite direction to the markets,rumour again that emirates are looking,denied of course,but its as cheap as chips.

293pence.

not for now capetown.

Good old BA,up from 260 to 311,just on the basis that this stock way oversold!!,good stock to trade if you buy and can afford to hold.

327pence,now reached its re rating @330,could be time to sell and buy again on the next dip,however it could rise further on nearing Terminal 5 move dates.

BA profits up 35%
Lets see if it continues upward trend in SP.

Looks like the market has priced these anticipated results in the sp already from recent 260 climb,a fallback and then a rise leading to T5?

BA loses more luggage than European rivals

British Airways lost more than a million bags last year - a higher total than any other airline in Europe - figures have shown.

BA blamed problems at Heathrow and the carry-on baggage restrictions for its poor performance

BA's performance deteriorated in 2007, with a larger proportion of bags failing to reach destinations with their owners.

BA mislaid 26.5 bags for every 1,000 passengers it carried last year, compared to 23 in 2006, the Association of European Airlines. (AEA) reports.

It heaps further embarrassment on British aviation by disclosing that a higher proportion of flights were delayed at Heathrow last year than any other major European airport.

Because it deals with more passengers, BA lost the most bags overall, more than 1.1 million, but is spared the embarrassment of being the worst-performing airline by TAP, the Portuguese carrier, which lost 27.8 bags per 1,000.

Aviation watchdogs said travellers faced inconvenience and expense - such as having to buy clothes - even if they were reunited with their bags.

"Whatever the extenuating circumstances, when passengers hand their bag in at check-in they should expect to see their bags at the other end," the Air Transport Users Council (AUC), said.

A number of airlines, including EasyJet, Ryanair and Virgin, are not included in the AEA league table, which is compiled with information from carriers themselves. The AUC called on the European Commission to name and shame airlines. "Passengers should not have to take the industry's word for it," a spokesman said.

BA blamed problems at Heathrow and the carry-on baggage restrictions - limiting passengers to one piece of hand luggage - for its poor performance.

"Although Heathrow continues to suffer from a very stretched infrastructure, running at almost double capacity, we also accept that on occasions our own levels of service have not been as high as we would like," a BA spokesman said.

"The record level of bags in the summer combined with the wettest UK June and July on record and a critical level of security following the bomb attack at Glasgow airport led to a range of operational difficulties which also impacted on our baggage performance during the busiest months of the year," he added.

The AEA's airport statistics show that 35.5 per cent of Heathrow's flights were delayed by more than 15 minutes. Gatwick fared little better with 30.2 per cent of its flights leaving at least a quarter of an hour late.

Heathrow flights were delayed by an average 32.7 minutes, while at Gatwick the wait was 31.5 minutes.

price now 258p.
