Flybe soars as Virgin Atlantic reportedly mulls takeover bid

Shares of UK regional airline Flybe soared Friday in the wake of reports Virgin Atlantic was in talks about a takeover bid.

Virgin Group's interest in Flybe comes as the transatlantic airline seeks to connect long-haul operations with smaller UK airports.

Flybe said earlier this month that it was exploring a possible sale after reporting that pre-tax profits more than halved in the first half of the year owing to headwinds from higher fuel and currency costs. Story provided by StockMarketWire.com

SP up over 25% as now!

Nice if you bought in yesterday.

in pennies, the rise is very small
in any case, be very wary of buying on news of a potential bid, as often they fall apart before completion

Cynic
Do you ever invest, if you had got in first thing when I posted you could be out now a couple of hours later 30% up!!!! No risk.

Now go and get some EUA before it’s to late.

i do indeed invest, both for my sipp (about 45 stocks) and a small number for trading

Confirmation statement https://www.moneyam.com/action/news/showArticle?id=6219050

Finished up over 71% no less.

SP Flying again today.

Bitter rivals Sir Richard Branson and Willie Walsh are to lock horns in a bid battle for ailing regional carrier Flybe as experts warn failure of the country's biggest regional airline could be catastrophic for a string of smaller airports. After years of struggle, loss-making Flybe has put itself up for sale following warnings of "material uncertainty" over its future. - Telegraph.

Looks like Keith Everitt has bought 4 1/2% of the share capital unless I’m mistaken https://www.moneyam.com/action/news/showArticle?id=6224506
