Assolutamente nulla di nuovo sotto il sole. Ciò gia era 'previsto'. Sarà un anno tostissimo, molto molto più duro del 2002. Forse anche più duro di quanto ci si possa aspettare, visto la novità della malattia della Sars.
Tralaltro la sempre ottima Lufthansa sembra prevedere un risultato pesantissimo per i primi 4 mesi.

la lufthansa ha già perso credo 300 o 400 milioni di euro. la cathay ha previsto un mese a questo regime prima di finire in bancarotta, se le cose non migliorano.

What it describes as "overlapping crises" pushed one of Europe's leading airlines, Lufthansa, into deep losses in its first quarter.

The German carrier also said it that it now anticipates an operating loss for the full year.

From a EUR12 million operating profit in the same quarter of 2002, the company plunged to a EUR415 million (USD$476.8 million) loss as a continuing weak economy, the after effects of the Iraq war and the SARS virus took their toll on worldwide travel demand.

The company says it was hit particularly hard by the consequences of the SARS epidemic in the Asia/Pacific region, where Lufthansa had earlier emerged as the market leader ahead of other European airlines. Despite making swift capacity cuts and cost savings Lufthansa was unable to buck the gloomy trend.

"Air transport worldwide is facing its greatest economic crisis ever. The situation has never been so serious", said Chief Executive Jurgen Weber. "If we want to remain a healthy company and keep our staff on board, we have to further reduce our costs in cooperation with our internal and external partners.

"We must make a concerted effort to take timely contingency measures if we want to keep ahead of our competitors, even in times of crisis," Weber said. But there would come a time after the crisis, and it was vital to be well prepared for that, he added.

Despite the current problems, Mr Weber pointed out that Lufthansa remains one of the most financially robust airlines with high liquidity. "Thanks to our financial strength we will be able to maintain the position we have achieved, even if the crisis proves to be protracted. Of that I am convinced." he said.

From January to March the Lufthansa Group generated total revenue of EUR3.7 billion, 4.6 percent less than in the same period last year.
