Thomas Cook Group: "Overall, the Board is confident of a satisfactory result for the full year. Current bookings match our expectations and, as we continue to focus on managing capacity with demand, we are optimistic that we will maintain satisfactory prices and margins during the remainder of the summer season. We do, however, recognise that the "lates" market last year was particularly strong due to inclement weather throughout much of Europe, which has not been replicated this year."
