由于旅行需求强于预期,西南航空预计第四季度将实现盈利

.
英为财情Investing.com -当地时间周三,由于旅行需求强于预期,西南航空 (NYSE:LUV)预计第四季度将实现盈利。这家航司预计,第四季度的营收将至少恢复到2019年的90%水平且明年将“稳定”盈利。
西南航空发布的乐观预测正值Omicron在全球各地爆发之际。在重要圣诞假期前夕,各国采取的一系列边境管控措施引起了人们的担忧。
西南航空表示,公司尚未感受到新变异毒株所带来的的影响,因为12月休闲旅游需求超出了市场预期。它还补充道,明年1月旅行预订量也符合公司预期。
不过,该公司首席财务官Tammy Romo发出警告,Omicron的任何重大变化都可能破坏公司的预测。“任何的外部因素都可能改变并影响我们的预测。”她告诉投资者,“但我们对于旅游需求的预测是保持谨慎态度的。”
此前,由于员工短缺,西南航空不得不大量取消航班。该航司表示,今年招聘5000名员工的进度顺利,计划明年再招聘至少8000名员工。
