Major Chinese Airlines Expect Wider First-Half Losses Amid Surging Fuel Costs

Major Chinese airlines expect their first-half losses to widen as elevated fuel costs brought by the Middle East conflict continue to squeeze operating profit margins.In separate profit warnings issued to the Hong Kong bourse on Tuesday, Air China (HKG:0753, SHA:601111), China Eastern Airlines (HKG:0670, SHA:600115), and China Southern Airlines (HKG:1055, SHA:600029) disclosed preliminary loss estimates for the six months ended June 30.Air China predicts its attributable net loss will widen to between 2.1 billion yuan and 2.6 billion yuan, up from 1.81 billion yuan a year earlier.China Eastern Airlines anticipates its loss to widen to between 1.8 billion yuan and 2.4 billion yuan, compared with 1.43 billion yuan in the prior-year period.China Southern Airlines expects a net loss of 3.47 billion yuan to 3.97 billion yuan, more than doubling its 1.53 billion yuan loss from a year ago.The carriers attributed the downbeat projections to sudden external shocks and high aviation fuel prices, affecting the companies' profitability and causing passengers to shoulder added costs.The struggles in China align with a broader global industry downturn. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) recently halved its 2026 profit outlook for global airlines. Carriers are now projected to earn a combined net profit of $23 billion for the year, down from an earlier $41 billion estimate and roughly half of the $45 billion recorded in 2025."War-related disruptions in the Middle East and rising fuel costs have shifted the outlook for airlines to the worse," Willie Walsh, IATA's Director General, said."Profits will shrink from $45 billion in 2025 to $23 billion this year. And margins will shrink from 4.2% to 2.0%. All airline bottom lines are suffering from the rapid 70% rise in jet fuel prices."Airlines in the Asia-Pacific region, which rely heavily on crude imports, expect their collective net profits to drop to $6.6 billion this year, down from $9.8 billion in 2025.

Air China Returns to Profitability in Q1 Amid Energy Shocks; Hong Kong Shares Slide 3%

Air China (HKG:0753) returned to profitability in the first quarter, which could indicate resilience in the industry despite global energy shocks.Attributable net profit at China's flag carrier reached 1.71 billion yuan, compared with a loss of 2.04 billion yuan the previous year, according to a Thursday disclosure to the Hong Kong Exchange.Earnings per share stood at 0.10 yuan, versus a loss per share of 0.12 yuan.The rebound in earnings indicates a resilience in China's aviation sector, especially as it recovers from fuel shocks, Bloomberg reported separately on Thursday.The growth is also in line with expectations from Bank of America Securities.Two other major airlines, China Southern Airlines (HKG:1055, SHA:600029) and China Eastern Airlines (HKG:0670, SHA:600115) also recovered from losses in the first quarter compared with the year-ago period.Air China's turnaround could also mean alignment with other big Asian carriers such as Singapore Airlines (SGX:C6L) and Cathay Pacific (HKG:0293), the report said.However, Air China and its government-controlled peers could be "adversely positioned" due to a more price-sensitive travel cohort in China, as well as high fuel costs which they struggle to pass on to passengers, Reuters quoted HSBC (HKG:0005) as saying.The airline's revenue rose 11% year over year to 44.5 billion yuan from 40.0 billion yuan.Passenger capacity jumped 7.6% to 95.2 available seat kilometers during the quarter. The rise could be attributable to demand during the Lunar New Year, Reuters reported separately.Passenger throughput grew 10% to 42.1 million during the quarter, with domestic passenger count growing 10% to 35.8 million, international passenger count rising 12% to 4.9 million, and regional passenger count increasing 18% to 1.3 million.Cargo and mail throughput during the quarter grew 4.3% to 362,995.4 tonnes, while cargo capacity jumped 3.6% to 3.48 billion available freight tonne kilometers.Chinese international airline capacity could rise 13% year over year during the summer, equivalent to 91% of 2019 levels, Reuters said, citing Bank of America.Shares fell 3% in Hong Kong during Thursday afternoon trading.
