April 20, 2010

UK airports operator BAA has said that the ban on flights as a result of the volcanic ash cloud is costing it between £5m and £6m a day.

However, it said it did not believe that the closure of its airports would have a "material impact" on finances.

BAA operates six airports in the UK, including Heathrow and Stansted.

Separately, Irish airline Aer Lingus said that the disruption of the past five days had cost it 15m-20m euros ($20.2m-$26.9m; £13.2m-£17.6m).

The carrier said it was currently losing 4m-5m euros a day.

However, Aer Lingus added that it had "substantial cash reserves" and could "withstand a sustained closure of airspace".
