Half-Year Trading Update

Dart Group PLC 04 October 2007 Trading Statement - October 2007 Dart Group PLC, the aviation and distribution group, reports on its first half trading. In line with internal expectations, Group turnover has been well ahead of last year with margins at lower levels reflecting market conditions in both businesses and Jet2.com's growth profile. Whilst half-year operating profit will, as a result, be significantly below last year's levels, the outlook for the full year is still expected to be approaching market expectations. Fowler Welch-Coolchain has had a satisfactory first half and is trading broadly in line with last year. Jet2.com has continued to build its network and customer base with significant expansion from each of its six bases during summer 2007 resulting in reduced margins as new routes are developed. In the second half, Jet2.com winter performance is expected to be improved from last year, reflecting lower growth in capacity relative to the previous winter season. 4 October 2007 This information is provided by RNS The company news service from the London Stock Exchange
