三季报利润承压，吉祥航空还有看头吗？

Core Viewpoint - The aviation transportation sector has shown a strong recovery, with private airlines like Juneyao Airlines outperforming state-owned carriers, despite a general trend of "volume increase and price decrease" in the market for 2024 [3][4]. Group 1: Industry Performance - The aviation market in 2024 is characterized by a significant increase in passenger transport volume, reaching historical highs during the peak summer travel season, while airlines have lowered prices to compete with high-speed rail and adapt to market changes [3][5]. - The overall civil aviation industry saw a 6.0% year-on-year increase in passenger volume, with international passenger transport growing by 28.5% [8]. Group 2: Company Performance - Juneyao Airlines reported operating revenue of 17.48 billion yuan for the first three quarters of 2025, remaining stable year-on-year, but total profit and net profit attributable to shareholders decreased by 13.1% and 14.3%, respectively [5]. - In Q3 2025, the company generated revenue of 6.41 billion yuan, a decrease of 1.9% year-on-year, with net profit attributable to shareholders dropping by 25.3% [7]. - The decline in profits is attributed to non-operating costs, particularly due to engine maintenance affecting domestic capacity and increasing related expenses, which is seen as a temporary operational adjustment [8]. Group 3: Strategic Focus - Juneyao Airlines has shifted its strategic focus towards international markets, with a slight decrease in domestic passenger volume by 6.2% to 11.34 million, while international passenger volume surged by 45.9% to 2.10 million in the first half of 2025 [10][11]. - The company optimized its international route network, operating 12,370 international flights and opening new destinations such as Kobe and Kuala Lumpur [11]. - The comprehensive passenger load factor improved to 85.2%, with domestic and international load factors rising to 88.1% and 78.4%, respectively, although revenue per passenger kilometer declined from 0.47 yuan to 0.45 yuan, reflecting the market trend of "price for volume" [11].
