LONDON (dpa-AFX) - Tour operator Thomas Cook Group Plc. (TCKGY.PK, TCG.L) Tuesday said with the winter 2014/15 season now almost fully sold, and summer 2015 more than 50% sold, the Group is trading in line with management's expectations.
The UK business continues to trade ahead of last year, with significant bookings growth resulting from robust demand particularly for our Winter Sun holidays, the company stated.
Peter Fankhauser, Chief Executive of Thomas Cook, commented: 'Our bookings for the full year are developing well, especially in the UK and Airlines Germany. The tough trading conditions we reported previously in some markets are showing early signs of improvement, and our New Product and Winter Sun initiatives are leading to growth. I am confident that, by continuing to rigorously implement our strategy, we will further improve business performance.'
