Make cash from ash

20/04/2010 | By More

I hope you are not one of many being inconvenienced by the erupting volcano in Iceland, or the national air bodies, depending on how you see it. The office is quieter this Monday thanks to the failure of quite a few people failing to return from overseas after the school Easter holidays. My wife spoke to a friend last night, still stuck in the US with little hope of return this week. Scheduled ETA at least two weeks away, I think the airline industry and the economy needs this like a hole in the head. I live under very busy airspace so it’s been very novel seeing no planes in the sky aside from the occasional paraglider or small light aircraft, I will enjoy it while I can. But I think the paranoia may have spread a little too far as the local RAF helicopter base doesn’t appear to be flying either and the last time I looked helicopters didn’t go past 20,000 feet.

Still, where ever there is something major going on, there is always opportunity on the flip side somewhere. I think the same could be the case in the sports markets too. I am currently looking at the sports that involve travel to see how they could be affected. Formula 1 cars are currently parked a long way from Spain at the moment and may not get the chance to be refitted for the next race if they can’t travel soon. European football matches could also experiance some interesting additional shapes, given that air travel could be ruled out. I am sure there are many more but these are just a couple of examples of things you should be looking at right now. It’s often the unusual things that deliver some great opportunties at these moments.

I notice the BBC have summarised some of the problems on this page.
