Profits up at Jet2 owner Dart
Aviation and distribution group Dart, which owns Jet2, said yesterday that pre-tax profits rose by 18 per cent to £26.2m, and raised its dividend to 0.83p per share. Profitability increased in aviation, primarily due to increasing load factors, but decreased in distribution due to start-up costs at the new North West distribution centre and the rationalisation of the container operations.
