國泰(00293.HK)日均客量由9萬跌至約1.5萬人 會按需求決定5月份運力
國泰(00293.HK)顧客及商務總裁林紹波於記者會指,由於新型肺炎疫情的影響,現時日均顧客量只有約1.5萬至1.6萬人,最低甚至見1.1萬至1.2萬人,而過往平均9萬人。
主席賀以禮指,是次的疫情為公司帶來前所未有的挑戰環境,但因應疫情的發展和各國旅遊限制,目前每日都有取消行程的要求,因此短期公司已降低運力,2月降30%,而3月及4月降65%,但目前未決定5月的數字,要視乎屆時的需求情況。
他指,除了降低運力外,已要求業務夥伴盡可能給予公司折扣和延後付款等的可能,亦要求員工參與自願放無薪假3周,目前已有80%員工同意。
他又指,暫時未知疫情情況會持續至何時,目前預期下半年旅遊數字可以復甦,因此預期上半年會出現重大虧損,但長遠對香港有信心,相信內地市場和大灣區的發展會帶來機遇,以及會繼續強化作為「中轉站」的角色。
貨運方面,林紹波指,因應疫情取消了部份航班,導致貨計運力下降三分之一,目前已盡力採取不同措施去補充供應,包括將客機調動至貨運用途。
財務總裁馬天偉指,公司會繼續其燃油對沖政策,但重申年期不會多於2年,而對沖量不會多於用量15%,目前在手合約為65美元,對沖量為40%,對比今年對沖會錄虧損,而近期油價持續下跌,而且運力減少,預期虧損會更大。
