DAVY VIEW

A good cost performance in Q4 and robust cost and capacity 2020 guidance are probably offset by the -€150-200m impact on the operating result for February-April 2020 from the Covid-19 virus, with unit revenue expected to be down in Q1 and long-haul forward bookings down 3-5 points from February to May. However, with a €300m decrease in the fuel bill, there is unlikely to be material movement on 2020 estimates for now. Conference call at 07:15 CET.
