    103.8% of 9.6 is 9.9 surely?

    They're mainline only figures I assume. Quite a bit of capacity ex-DUB particularly has been transferred to Regional on UK shorthaul so it really needs to be included for validity.

    AER Lingus carried just over 11 million passengers in December if its regional figures are included, a 3.2pc increase on last year.
    The higher overall figures were driven by strength in its long-haul business.

    However, short haul figures were lower.

    "The reduction in December 2014 short haul capacity relates to planned network adjustments to protect margins given seasonal demand conditions," the company said in a statement today.

    Here is the actual Q4 2014 statement of estimated profits by EI:
    http://corporate.aerlingus.com/investorrelations/regulatorynews/2015pressreleases/20150107-Update-on-Q4-2014-trading-and-fuel-hedging.pdf

    As part of its third quarter interim management statement, Aer Lingus Group plc ......stated that its full year 2014 operating profit, before exceptional items, would be ahead of the 2013 operating result of €61.1 million.

    Aer Lingus has recently increased its fuel hedging activity to bring its hedging profile in line with that of peers and to take advantage of favourable jet fuel price trends to support delivery of its 2015 results.As a result, Aer Lingus has now hedged 90% of its estimated 2015 fuel requirement at an average price of US$830 per metric tonne.

    The lower average fuel cost, in addition to the positive effects of staff cost stabilisation achieved through the IASS pension solution and further efficiency measures, will contribute positively to the Group’s 2015 results. These year-on-year positive effects will be partially offset by the impact of the expected strength of the US$ compared to the euro relative to the 2014 exchange rate and other cost increases.
