Aer Lingus, the Irish flag carrier, is expected to announce flotation plans early next week, said the Guardian newspaper, without citing sources. The group aims to raise 400-500 mln eur from the listing of up to 60 pct of its shares. It will seek a primary listing in Dublin, with a secondary listing in London, the newspaper said.

The Irish state controls 85 pct of Aer Lingus, while Esot, an employee trust, holds the remaining 15 pct.
