British Airways shares regain ground
There were few, if any, dramatic moves among travel and tourism shares yesterday as London’s equity markets failed to show any momentum.
The FTSE 100 index gained 15.3 points to close at 4453.6 – mainly on talk of a potential takeover at Marks and Spencer – while the FTSE 250 dropped 1.8 points to end the day at 6031.9.
British Airways gained 4.25p to close at 255.75p after recent falls, while MyTravel gained another quarter of a penny to close at 8p after reducing its losses and announcing that it could return to profitability next year.
