Pressmeddelanden, rapporter och bolagsmeddelande för Finnair Oyj

Finnair's Half-year Report for January to June 2024 highlights a normalizing market after a period of strong demand, leading to decreased unit revenue and results. Key points from April to June 2024 include: - Finnair carried 3.0 million passengers, with revenue increasing by 2.3% due to higher ancillary and cargo revenue. - The comparable operating result was 43.6 million euros, down from 66.2 million euros the previous year, primarily due to lower yields and passenger load factor. - Operating cash flow remained strong, and the financial position improved due to refinancing actions. - On-time performance was negatively impacted by runway renovations at Helsinki Airport and challenging weather conditions, dropping to 76.0% from 84.9%. - Travel demand is normalizing post-COVID-19, reflected in a passenger load factor of 74.7%. Finnair updated its guidance, planning to increase total capacity by approximately 10% in 2024, focusing on Asia and Europe. Revenue is expected to be between 3.0–3.2 billion euros, with comparable EBIT estimated at 110–180 million euros. The company will provide further updates in its third-quarter interim report in October 2024. CEO Turkka Kuusisto noted the successful rollout of new long-haul cabins and continued investments in customer experience, including a new Schengen lounge at Helsinki Airport. Finnair also issued a 500-million-euro unsecured senior bond to refinance a 400-million-euro bond, receiving a BB+ credit rating from S&P Global Ratings. The company aims to improve competitiveness, profitability, and customer experience while maintaining a strong balance sheet and cash flow. Finnair's Net Promoter Score was 39, and it was voted the best airline in Northern Europe at the Skytrax World Airline Awards for the 14th consecutive year. Finnair will hold a results press conference on 19 July 2024, with further details available in the full report.
