Aer Lingus hoping for wet August

The head of Aer Lingus, is one of the few people in Ireland hoping that August is a wash out, as the airlines last minute sales suffer due to the good weather.

Christoph Müller made his comments after the airline announced that their profits will be broadly in line with the €69.1m they announced last year, when the company’s business routes to London were completely wiped out by the Olympics.

Second-quarter earnings on that basis declined 8.2% to €29.1m, while sales increased 6.2% to €398.2m.
