Monday brief: British Airways

BRITISH Airways is sounding positive, of late, with regard to future performance, saying that the fallout from the security scares at Heathrow and other British airports back in August hasn't hampered overall business too much.

It is, however, now suggesting that its overall full-year revenue - former Aer Lingus supremo Willie Walsh’s first full year at the helm - will show growth of between 5% and 6%, rather than the slightly higher growth of 6%-7%, as previously anticipated.

'The world's favourite airline' (if you don't count Ryanair, of course) publishes its second quarter and interim results on Friday.
