国泰(00293.HK)首季载客人次按年跌98.4% 客运运力降91.7%
国泰航空(00293.HK)公布,由於COVID-19全球疫情持续,香港及多个市场实施旅游限制及检疫措施,月内因应需求疲弱而继续大幅削减运力。国泰航空在3月载客1.85万人次,按年下跌94%,收入乘客千米数按年减少95.7%。乘客运载率下跌28个百分点至21.2%,以可用座位千米数计算的运力则下跌90%。在今年首三个月,载客人次较去年同期下跌98.4%,运力下跌91.7%,而收入乘客千米数则下跌98.2%。
国泰航空於3月份运载8.33万吨货物及邮件,按年下跌30.1%。月内的货物及邮件收入吨千米数按年减少32.4%。运载率上升8.9个百分点至86.4%。以可用货物及邮件吨千米数计算的运力削减39.4%。在今年首三个月,载货量较去年同期下跌29.6%,运力下跌39.6%,而货物及邮件收入吨千米数则下跌26.5%。
国泰航空顾客及商务总裁林绍波表示,集团客运业务依然受压,持续面对严峻的挑战。由於本港收紧了机组人员的强制检疫规定,集团於3月份仅能维持基本的客运服务,运作航班至18个航点,运力较2月份减少达47%。3月份的日均载客量仅为598人次,较2月的755人次进一步下跌。而政府计划豁免中国内地来港旅客的强制隔离安排,并缩短由中低风险地区抵港人士的隔离检疫期,朝复苏路向迈进一步。集团会继续灵活应对,以捕捉旅游市场的新需求。
货运方面,他指运力月内受制於严格的机组人员强制检疫规定,按年下跌39.4%,集团已尽量营运更多只载货的客机航班,及利用由集团附属华民航空营运的包机服务。而港府宣布由今日(16日)起,完成疫苗接种的驻港货机及只载货客机机师,可豁免强制检疫,有利集团的货运业务,及有助逐步减少每月营运现金消耗。另外,集团亦继续运送疫苗到香港及全球网络航点。疫苗运载量於数天前已突破1,500万剂的里程碑。
