The Indian airlines which are facing strong headwinds from the rising fuel prices may see its financial getting affected in FY19 in comparison to the last couple of years. The weakening of the rupee and rising fares out of aggressive capacity inductions is surely to add to their woes.
The firming up of Jet fuel costs has already started hurting the yields of the airlines and the Q4 results of Indigo and Spicejet are an indication. The fuel costs constitute more than 40% of the overall operating costs of the airlines.
According to an outlook report released in January by aviation consultancy firm CAPA for FY2019, all low-cost carriers (LCCs) except for AirAsia are expected to make a profit. The LCC may report $450-500 million profit. However, full-service carriers (FSC) are projected to report losses of $825-850 million – with both Air India and Vistara loss-making. Jet Airways expected to either break-even or report a modest profit, subject to the Q4 performance.
