Aer Lingus trading picks up in Q3

AER Lingus says trading picked up in the third quarter and that it is likely to generate a full-year operating profit towards the top end of expectations.

However, it has warned of a potential slowdown in business next year.

In a trading statement, for the three months to the end of last month, the airline said September in particular had been stronger than anticipated; primarily due to an improvement in yields.
