國泰(00293.HK)4月載客逾2.2萬人次按年升63.2% 惟較疫情前跌99.3%
國泰航空(00293.HK)公布,在今年4月份載客2.24萬人次,按年上升63.2%,但相比2019年4月疫情前的水平下跌99.3%。收入乘客千米數按年上升32.6%,但與2019年4月相比減少99.1%。乘客運載率增加2.5個百分點至24.2%,以可用座位千米數計算的運力亦上升18.9%,唯較2019年4月下跌96.8%。今年首四個月,載客人次較去年同期下跌97.9%,運力下跌90.2%,而收入乘客千米數則下跌97.7%。
另外,國泰航空於今年4月運載7.31萬公噸貨物及郵件,較去年同月下跌13.6%。月內的貨物及郵件收入噸千米數按年減少31.3%。運載率上升12.5個百分點至83%。以可用貨物及郵件噸千米數計算的運力則削減41.7%。今年首四個月,載貨量較去年同期下跌26.7%,運力下跌40%,而貨物及郵件收入噸千米數則下跌27.5%。
國泰航空顧客及商務總裁林紹波表示,市場復甦的步伐仍然緩慢。今年4月的客運需求非常疲弱,每日平均僅接載747名乘客,雖較上月微升,但整月的乘客量仍處於2.24萬人次的低水平。月內,集團審慎調升運力,包括恢復往來成都、廈門、高雄、墨爾本和珀斯的定期航班。整體而言,4月的客運運力雖較3月增加了21%,但仍較2019年4月疫情前的水平減少96.8%。運載率錄得輕微改善,唯仍處24.2%的甚低水平。
他指集團仍然未見整體客運需求有實質改善的跡象。集團就往返香港與新加坡的「航空旅遊氣泡」航班延遲啟航,表示失望的同時,亦因顧客對不論出行目的、均可享有雙向入境免檢疫安排的航班需求而感到鼓舞。
集團又歡迎當局最近放寬已全面接種疫苗的駐港機組人員於執勤客運及貨運航班後的強制檢疫規定,有助逐步減少集團的每月營運現金消耗,有利客、貨運業務。現時已有超過80%的駐港機師及逾40%的駐港機艙服務員預約或已接種疫苗。隨著更多機組人員全面接種疫苗,預期5月的貨運航班運作將陸續恢復。
