Airline company sees profits surge

Climbing revenues and the acquisition of new clients resulted in Irish airline software company Datalex reporting a surge in profits after tax last year.

They rose from $1.1m (€796,000) in 2012 to $1.6m (€1.15m) last year.

Chief executive Aidan Brogan has been rewarded for his stewardship of Datalex, with the annual report showing his total remuneration package for 2013 was $515,000.
