Analyst raises ratings on network carriers
A prolific analyst who follows the airline industry published a new note Tuesday morning, raising ratings on large domestic network carriers thanks to ``dramatically falling oil prices and the deep capacity cuts implemented to support ticket prices and revenue.''
While the strength of the Seven Network could gain it a 5 per cent rise and Nine was hoping for a rise of between 3 per cent and 5 per cent, the early stages of rate negotiations mean broadcasters and marketers are miles apart on any rate rises for next year.
