What the score means. Each score rates how good or bad the news was for the company, from −10 (clearly bad) to +10 (clearly good). 0 is neutral, and anything beyond ±6 is strong and rare. It rates the coverage, not the share price.
Why it scored this way
Coverage was dominated by the wrong-flight blunder at Birmingham and some onboard incidents, which reflect badly on the airline. Offsetting this were new Newcastle routes and the upcoming shareholder vote on the Apollo takeover, though reported head office job cuts weighed too.
What drove it
- wrong plane blunder
- Apollo takeover vote
- Newcastle route expansion
