國泰(00293.HK):人手嚴重過剩需作果斷決定 做好迎接旅遊氣泡準備
國泰航空(00293.HK)行政總裁鄧健榮接受本地媒體訪問時稱,不會就裁員問題回應坊間消息,但同時不會剔除任何選項,因現時人手嚴重過剩,員工薪金是最大支出,故有必要果斷、快速作決定,然而若大幅「瘦身」會很危險,必須維持靈活,以迎接市場復甦。
他指出,去年已面對社會運動影響,再加上疫情,比起其他同業是雙重打擊,最近兩個月運力亦只恢復到8%至9%,載客量由正常的每日10萬人,跌至現時1,500人,每月「燒錢」15億至20億元。雖然國泰已採取多項節流措施,目前除員工成本外,四大主要成本都已經削減。
他又稱,國泰可作出靈活部署,已準備好應付隨時推出的「旅遊氣泡」,建立「旅遊氣泡」前提是兩地防疫工作做足,但不一定要將風險降至零,相信可在一套風險評估機制下,作出不同航空安排,現時正跟其他航空公司及有關當局探討,不過相信政策對補救現金流出作用不大,甚至在推出初期或因增加營運成本,反而構成壓力,相信仍有一段長時間過渡。
