and update certain disclosures that had been provided in its

Increase in the number of shares being sold by British
Airways plc
Subsequent to the filing of our preliminary prospectus on
July 20, 2006, British Airways plc, one of our selling
shareholders, decided to sell in this offering 5,160,000
ordinary shares, representing its entire current shareholding in
our company. This represents an increase of 774,000 ordinary
shares from the 4,386,000 ordinary shares disclosed in our
preliminary prospectus dated July 20, 2006 as being offered
for sale by British Airways plc. This change increases the
number of ADSs being offered by the selling shareholders from
5,955,024 to 6,729,024, the number of ADSs being offered by us
and the selling shareholders in this offering from 10,428,708 to
11,202,708 (assuming no exercise of the underwriters
over-allotment option), and the total number of ADSs to be sold
in this offering from 11,989,708 to 12,763,708 (assuming full
exercise of the underwriters over-allotment option). These
figures have been updated on the
F-1 registration
statement cover, the preliminary prospectus covers and
pages 5, 6, 21, 90, 91, 118 and 128 of our preliminary
prospectus contained in our Amendment No. 2 filing.
Also as a result of this change, the number of ordinary shares
available for sale if registered or if qualified for an
exemption from registration under the Securities Act disclosed
under the caption Shares Available for Future
Sale Sale of Restricted Shares on
page 118 of our preliminary prospectus included in our
Amendment No. 2 filing was revised to 28,599,149 from
29,373,149 (or 27,070,149 from 27,844,149 if the underwriters
exercise their over-allotment option in full), compared to the
numbers of shares reported in our preliminary prospectus dated
July 20, 2006. In addition, shareholders subject to
lock-up agreements will
now hold 28,564,487 (decreased from 29,338,487) ordinary shares,
or approximately 71.8% (decreased from 73.7%) of our outstanding
ordinary shares (or 27,035,487 (decreased from 27,809,487)
ordinary shares, or approximately 67.9% (decreased from 69.8%)
of our outstanding ordinary shares if the underwriters exercise
their option in full). See pages 21, 118 and 120 of our
preliminary prospectus included in our Amendment No. 2
filing.
Other amendments to principal and selling shareholder
information
In addition to revisions relating to the number of shares being
sold by British Airways plc, we have updated the number of
shares owned by Ramesh Shah to 233,333 (increased from 150,000)
to reflect options exercisable within 60 days. See
pages 91, 93 and 119 of our preliminary prospectus included
in our Amendment No. 2 filing.
Updates to information relating to share option and
restricted share unit issuances
In our Amendment No. 2 filing, we have revised the
disclosure to clarify that certain options and restricted shares
units will be issued effective upon the pricing of the offering
instead of the completion of this offering.
Additionally, since the issuance of our preliminary prospectus
on July 20, 2006, the number of ordinary shares issuable
upon exercise of options to be effective upon the pricing of
this offering and restricted share units to be issued effective
upon the pricing of this offering have been revised. The amounts
to be issued to directors and officers have remained unchanged.
The total amount of 3,000,000 ordinary shares reserved for
future issuance under our 2006 Incentive Award Plan described in
our preliminary prospectus now includes 537,000 (increased from
522,000) ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of options to be
effective upon the pricing of this offering (of which 320,000
(unchanged) are to be issued to certain of our directors
and executive officers and 217,000 (increased from 202,000) are
to be issued to other employees) and 224,750 (decreased from
261,000) restricted share units to be issued effective upon the
completion of this offering (of which 160,000
(unchanged) are to be issued to certain of our directors
and executive officers and 64,750 (decreased from 101,000) are
to be issued to other employees).
