Latest News News Hemscott: "Alpha Airports Group PLC's domestic UK markets remain very competitive and continue to operate on low margins. The UK security issues in August 2006 and the resultant restrictions to hand baggage allowances continued to be a factor in Alpha's UK retail outlets throughout the remainder of the year.
Air-side trading has gradually returned to pre-incident levels, but the impact on land-side outlets, with passengers having to proceed to security more quickly, remains and is expected to continue to be a factor in the future.
Performance at Alpha's international businesses remains strong despite ongoing security issues in certain markets. Meanwhile, the group has recently expanded its international reach into India and the United Arab Emirates and strengthened its position in Australia and Italy."
