Horrendous day for travel shares

Sunday, 11 May, 2004 0

It was an horrendous day for  travel and tourism shares yesterday, with falls galore as London’s main equity indices lost ground.

 

The FTSE 100 index closed down 103.2 points at 4395.2 – its biggest one-day fall for a year – while the FTSE 250 dropped a huge 170.6 points to end the day at 5942.9.

 

Among the biggest fallers were British Airways – The Guardian blamed a 13.25p fall to 254p on “concerns over oil prices” – and lastminute.com, which fell back 8p to 171p.
