Med-View Airline Plc has reported a growth of 27 per cent in profit after tax (PAT) to N857 million for the half year ended June 30, 2017, compared with N672 million in the corresponding period of 2016.
The results of the only airline listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE), indicated that gross revenue grew by 48 per cent from N8.7 billion to N13.007 billion in 2017.
Operating cost shot up from N7.748 billion to N9.982 billion, propelled by rise in aviation fuel cost and cost of lease of aircraft for local operations.
For instance the airline spent N1.257 billion on lease of aircraft in H1, compared with nothing in the corresponding period of 2016.
Similarly, N4.506 billion was spent on aviation fuel, showing an increase of 60.2 per cent above the N2.811 billion recorded in 2016.
The amount spent on aviation alone accounted for 45 per cent of the total operating cost in 2017, compared with 37 per cent in 2016.
Administrative expenses increased marginally from N1.914 billion to N1.978 billion, while finance cost jumped to N171 million, from N55 million in 2016.
The rise stemmed from a growth in interest charges on overdraft that soared from N21.3 million in 2016 to N114.636 million in 2017.
Med-view Airline therefore ended the H1 with a profit before tax (PBT) of N945 million, from N739 million and a PAT of N857 million as against N672 million.

The Election Result They Want In Osun

The Election Result They Want In Osun I f the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) had its way, its candidate in Saturday’s governorship election in Osun State, Ademola Adeleke, would have been declared governor that day. The party is so upset with the decision of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to declare the election inconclusive, that it has threatened dire consequences should the result go the other way. Adeleke scored 254,698 votes, giving him 353 votes more than his main rival and candidate of the All Progressives Party, Gboyega Oyetola. But 3,498 potentially consequential votes were unaccounted for. Yet there are those who insist that by simple majority, Adeleke should have been declared winner. Why is INEC wasting time? As the parties return to the seven polling units in the four local councils that will finally decide the election, it appears that it is not only PDP that wants Adeleke declared winner, anyhow. In the run-up to the electi...

Football transfer news and rumours: 'Chelsea to intensify efforts with £25m bid for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain'

Cheamanager Antonio Conte, who earlier this week was reassured that  at least three more new players would arrive at Stamford Bridge before the transfer window closes , is understood to have increased his interest in  Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain . The Arsenal midfielder has just one year left on his contract and had been linked with a move across the capital earlier this summer, but according to the  Daily Mail  the Premier League champions are now ready to 'intensify their efforts' with a bid of around £25 million. Clearly not content with the prospect of upsetting some fans in one part of north London, Conte is also, according to the one red top, hoping to take  Danny Rose  from Tottenham Hotspur. The Italian manager had hoped to sign Alex Sandro from Juventus, though the Turin club are digging their heels in and are reportedly demanding at least £60m for the Brazilian. Despite having had surgery in May, Rose is expected to be fi...
