Advisers to Aer Lingus and Government in line for fee bonanza with the national airline’s flotation

ADVISERS to Aer Lingus are in for a windfall after the Government triggered the airline’s stock market listing yesterday.

The Government and the airline have both hired a number of Irish and international financial and legal advisers to handle the €1 billion flotation.

Though the company and the Government would not comment on the cost of the initial public offering it is believed that it could easily cost more than €10 million and possibly as much as €20m.
