CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT Aer Lingus Group Plc
Annual Report 2011
Icontinue to believe that an exciting and
successful future lies ahead for Aer Lingus, its
employees and its shareholders, particularly
as we see improvements in the Irish
economy. Aer Lingus continues to be a
valuable, profitable and cash generative
business with substantial statement of
financial position strength. Aer Lingus has
significant financial strength. We own
significant assets which are not recognised in
our financial statements, including attractive
slots at London Heathrow, New York JFK and
Dublin airports as well as a well recognised
and admired brand. Aer Lingus benefits from
amodern, cost efficient fleet of Airbus aircraft
and an experienced management team
supported by a dedicated group of
employees.
Finally, I would like to thank all our
employees, our Directors and our
shareholders for their continuing support.
Sincerely,
C
