國泰(00293.HK)3月載客量按年跌90% 料4月日均載客量少於1,000人
國泰(00293.HK)公布,國泰航空與國泰港龍航空於今年3月合併結算的客、貨運量。兩航空公司在3月合共載客31.1萬人次,按年下跌90%。3月的收入乘客千米數亦按年減少84.3%。乘客運載率下跌34.6個百分點至49.3%,以可用座位千米數計算的運力則下跌73.2%。
兩航空公司上月運載的貨物及郵件合共11.93萬公噸,按年下跌35.6%。3月的貨物及郵件收入噸千米數亦按年減少29%。運載率上升9個百分點至77.4%。以可用貨物及郵件噸千米數計算的運力下跌37.2%。
國泰航空顧客及商務總裁林紹波表示,與去年同期相比,3月的載客量下跌了九成,首季減少了52%。集團因應需求靈活調整運力,惟三月的運載率仍下跌至49.3%。月內各類型的客運量均大幅下跌,惟3月第三周入境客運量的跌幅稍微緩和,集團於該星期恢復了13班航班,以協助身處英國和美國的香港市民和學生回港。
他指,隨著香港對所有非本地居民旅客(包括過境旅客)實施入境限制,3月下旬的客運需求急劇下滑。於3月最後兩天,每天乘客量為1,000人以下。另外,集團致力在這關鍵時期支持全球供應鏈,於3月份增加貨運運力,包括增加貨機航班及營運257對只載貨的客機航班,預期4月會運作相若數量的只載貨客機航班,包括若干長途航線,例如貨運運力極為緊絀的西南太平洋地區。
林紹波又稱,集團預期4月的日均載客量會少於1,000人。通常集團每天載運約10萬名乘客,而本星期較早一天,載客量僅為302人。在4月和5月,集團只會營運少數基本的客運航班,相當於正常運力的3%。集團會採取一切可行措施,在未來數月削減開支和保留現金,確保國泰集團渡過這場風暴、於危機過後仍具備強韌的競爭能力,協助香港復甦。
