Auckland International Airport Recovering Slower Than Expected, Jefferies Says

Auckland International Airport's (NZE:AIA, ASX:AIA) recovery is happening slower than expected due to disruption from the Middle East conflict, with June passenger statistics indicating volumes declining by 4.5% for domestic and 3.8% for international, Jefferies said in a Wednesday note.Passenger growth fell short of fiscal 2026 forecast as domestic passenger volumes grew by only 1.7% compared with the expected 2%, impacted by the decline in June.International passenger growth was only 1.6%, lower than the expected 3%, with the Middle East conflict causing a 62% drop in passenger volumes on affected routes, Jefferies said.However, flight capacity is expected to rebound in the next few months as Air New Zealand's (NZE:AIR, ASX:AIZ) wide-body aircraft constraints ease and Middle Eastern routes slowly recover.The recovery will also be supported by new incoming services from international carriers such as Thai Airways, Air Niugini, and Starlux.Jefferies reaffirmed its hold rating on Auckland International Airport and raised its price target to NZ$8.65 from NZ$8.49.Auckland International Airport shares fell nearly 2% in recent New Zealand trade on Thursday and 1% in Australia.

Auckland International Airport's Passenger Volume Recovery Pace Disrupted by Middle East Conflict, Jefferies Says

Auckland International Airport's (ASX:AIA, NZE:AIA) expected pace of passenger volume recovery has taken a hit from the Middle East conflict as airlines grapple with higher fuel costs, Jefferies said in a Thursday note.Several airlines have trimmed capacity due to elevated fuel costs, and international seat capacity from Auckland Airport has consequently been cut for the fourth quarter, with seat growth slowing to 1% from 8.5% in February, the equity research firm said."Given the Middle East conflict is still ongoing, we see downside risks to current schedules for international capacity growth of 4.2% in [the first half of 2027]," Jefferies said. It added that airlines could resort to capacity discipline and pricing actions to shield margins in the face of fuel price-driven pressure on their cash flows and balance sheets.Jefferies downgraded its passenger forecasts by 0.5% for fiscal year 2026, 2.5% for fiscal year 2027, and 3% for fiscal year 2028.It cut its price target on Auckland International Airport to NZ$8.49 from NZ$8.64 while maintaining a hold rating, saying that it views the company's share price underperformance versus the sector and the market since late February as overdone.
