A second half recovery in the core business helped Air Partner to improve on the previous two half years' profits. Underlying profit still fell from £5.9m to £3.5m for the year to July 2010. The loss from the closure of the Private Jet Operating Company was £4.41m.
Visibility of demand continues to be limited but this has never been a predictable business. Mark Briffa became chief executive earlier this year and Gavin Charles was appointed finance director in June.
Air Partner is not paying a final dividend for last year but it has already announced a 15p a share interim dividend payable on 17 December.
