AGM STATEMENT
Air Partner plc, the global aviation charter specialist for corporates, organisations, individuals and governments, holds its Annual General Meeting today. At the meeting, Mark Briffa, Chief Executive Officer, will make the following statement:
"At the time of our full year results in April 2015, we reported that trading was in line with the Board's expectations. Trading has continued at similar levels, and given our forward bookings, we remain optimistic about the Group's prospects for the remainder of the year.
The completion of our acquisition of Cabot Aviation was announced on 13 May 2015. The acquisition has significantly enhanced our Aircraft Remarketing capabilities and we are seeing clear benefits for our customers and the wider Group.
While limited visibility is inherent in the Air Charter sector, we have made a solid start to the year and look ahead with a degree of optimism. The Group continues to maintain a positive net cash position.
Air Partner will provide a further update before the Group enters its close period on 1 August 2015."
