All Leisure group PLC (AIM:ALLG) can confirm that cruises operated by all four of its destination-led brands were affected by the travel disruption that resulted from the recent closure of much of Northern Europe's airspace. We accommodated passengers both onboard ship and in hotels, began repatriation on Tuesday 20th April and expect to complete this process over the next few days. The disruption has led to significant changes to the itineraries offered on both our ocean and river cruise programmes, and those passengers affected are being offered the opportunity to make alternative booking arrangements. It is estimated that the total financial impact of these one-off costs (including lost contributions) will be up to £1.25 million and will be disclosed accordingly in our interim results for the six months to end April 2010.
