Aer Lingus appoints financial advisers

AER Lingus put the for sale sign up yesterday. The national airline has appointed two financial advisers ahead of its privatisation.

The State-owned carrier said yesterday that Merrion Capital and Goldman Sachs will advise on how best to maximise the airline's value.

The appointment of Goldman Sachs is no surprise as the investment bank had previously advised the Government on its options for Aer Lingus.
