what happened
European airlines are likely to keep reducing capacity on short-haul routes during the winter, while trans-Atlantic services are expected to prove more resilient. Bank of America analysts wrote this, according to Dow Jones Newswires.
They said lower winter capacity should further improve the supply-demand balance and support fares on short-haul routes. The analysts also noted that reduced capacity guidance could help unit revenues, while putting pressure on ex-fuel unit costs because fixed expenses would be allocated across fewer seats.
why it matters
For the airline sector, the expected reduction in short-haul supply could support fares and unit revenue. At the same time, fewer available seats may raise the share of fixed costs assigned to each unit of capacity.
