Outlook

4 This winter we expect total revenue per seat to be broadly in line with
last year

4 For summer 2008 we expect the effect of annualising APD, checked


bag charges and growing ancillary revenues to result in total revenue
per seat being slightly ahead of the previous year

4 High fuel costs will be partly offset by the weak US dollar, however
we anticipate an overall increase in GBP unit fuel costs

4 Unit costs excluding fuel are anticipated to be similar to last year

4 We anticipate an increase in underlying profit before tax of around


20% in 2008

4 The above outlook excludes the proposed acquisition of GB Airways.


Excluding one-off costs of around £12m we expect the acquisition to
be earnings enhancing in the current financial year
