Significant events
- “Since the end of the financial year, the directors have been closely monitoring the significant escalation in geopolitical tensions and the subsequent outbreak of military conflict involving Iran, the United States, and Israel.”
- “The conflict has led to notable disruptions in global aviation, including the closure of key regional airspaces and the rerouting of long-haul flight paths.”
- “Given that a substantial portion of the group's client bookings are to Middle Eastern destinations, the ongoing conflict is expected to have a material adverse impact on booking volumes to the area and near-term revenue.”
