國泰(00293.HK)首季載客人次按年跌98.4% 客運運力降91.7%
國泰航空(00293.HK)公布,由於COVID-19全球疫情持續,香港及多個巿場實施旅遊限制及檢疫措施,月內因應需求疲弱而繼續大幅削減運力。國泰航空在3月載客1.85萬人次,按年下跌94%,收入乘客千米數按年減少95.7%。乘客運載率下跌28個百分點至21.2%,以可用座位千米數計算的運力則下跌90%。在今年首三個月,載客人次較去年同期下跌98.4%,運力下跌91.7%,而收入乘客千米數則下跌98.2%。
國泰航空於3月份運載8.33萬噸貨物及郵件,按年下跌30.1%。月內的貨物及郵件收入噸千米數按年減少32.4%。運載率上升8.9個百分點至86.4%。以可用貨物及郵件噸千米數計算的運力削減39.4%。在今年首三個月,載貨量較去年同期下跌29.6%,運力下跌39.6%,而貨物及郵件收入噸千米數則下跌26.5%。
國泰航空顧客及商務總裁林紹波表示,集團客運業務依然受壓,持續面對嚴峻的挑戰。由於本港收緊了機組人員的強制檢疫規定,集團於3月份僅能維持基本的客運服務,運作航班至18個航點,運力較2月份減少達47%。3月份的日均載客量僅為598人次,較2月的755人次進一步下跌。而政府計劃豁免中國內地來港旅客的強制隔離安排,並縮短由中低風險地區抵港人士的隔離檢疫期,朝復甦路向邁進一步。集團會繼續靈活應對,以捕捉旅遊市場的新需求。
貨運方面,他指運力月內受制於嚴格的機組人員強制檢疫規定,按年下跌39.4%,集團已盡量營運更多只載貨的客機航班,及利用由集團附屬華民航空營運的包機服務。而港府宣布由今日(16日)起,完成疫苗接種的駐港貨機及只載貨客機機師,可豁免強制檢疫,有利集團的貨運業務,及有助逐步減少每月營運現金消耗。另外,集團亦繼續運送疫苗到香港及全球網絡航點。疫苗運載量於數天前已突破1,500萬劑的里程碑。
