El coronavirus afecta a la industria de las aerolíneas

By Duncan Mil

March 5, 2020 - Las aerolíneas de todo el mundo podrían perder cerca de $30.000m en ingresos este año por el brote de coronavirus, debido principalmente a la reducción de vuelos desde y hacia China, según el órgano comercial de líneas aéreas IATA.

Data show a 2.8 per cent fall in global aircraft capacity so far this year, compared with the International Air Transport Association’s (IATA) expectations in December for growth of 4.7 per cent in 2020.

According to IATA, carriers are forecast to bear a revenue loss of $29.3 billion if demand declines are limited to markets linked to China. For the China region alone, the lost revenues could total $12.8 billion.

IATA based its estimates on a scenario where SARS-CoV-2 has a similar impact on demand as was experienced during the SARS outbreak in 2003. SARS was responsible for the 5.1 per cent fall in revenue per passenger kilometre -- RPK is an industry measure -- carried by Asia-Pacific airlines.

In a note to clients, HSBC aviation analyst Andrew Lobbenberg said that the European listed carriers could see earnings cuts ranging from 87 per cent at Air France-KLM to 23 per cent at Wizz Air for 2020

“We estimate that global traffic will be reduced by 4.7 per cent by the virus, the first overall decline in demand since the global financial crisis of 2008-2009,” said Alexandre de Juniac, IATA’s Director-General and CEO.

“And that scenario would translate into lost passenger revenues of $29.3 billion.”
