Only the online retailers showed any significant movement; ebookers lost 27p to close at 446.5p – the shares are now trading at a significant discount to their 12-month high of 635p – while lastminute.com moved in the other direction and gained 12p to close at 270.5p.

Among the airlines, British Airways gained half a penny to close at 178.5p, easyJet fell back 3p for a 229.5p finish, and Ryanair lost 4p to end the day at 418.5p.
