TBI shares soar on bid approach

Thursday, 19 Nov, 2004 0

In fairly static markets, there were mainly small falls for travel and tourism shares yesterday – with one major exception.

The FTSE 100 index managed to gain 9.4 points to close at 4805.3, while the FTSE 250 had a similar day, adding just 5.1 points to end the day at 6604.3.

The biggest story of the day was at the regional airport operator TBI, which confirmed it was in talks with a potential bidder and saw its shares soar 9.75p to 85.75p.

The company, which owns Luton airport amongst others, said that talks were only at a preliminary stage, and “there could be no assurances that agreement could be reached”. The Independent names the Australian company Macquarie Airports as a potential candidate.
