Dec 16 (Reuters) - The electrical interconnector between
France and Britain will stay suspended until February 2025 due
to a damaged cable, channel operator Getlink GETP.PA said on
Monday.
The service was first suspended on Sept. 25. The expected
return of service is now expected on Feb. 10.
Getlink, which runs the undersea tunnel connecting France to
the UK, expects an additional commercial impact of around 11
million euros ($11.56 million) until the end of this year, and
an impact of 30 million for the first six weeks of 2025.
The group reiterated its core profit targets for 2024.
