Bloomberg Intelligence’s 2024 European Airlines Outlook
Overall, BI sees three key trends in 2024:
Cost Inflation. Wage inflation, airport and route fees, carbon costs and maintenance may feed into higher costs. Jet fuel prices are relatively high again vs. history, and while this can be volatile, hedges may prove important in the short term.Demand Normalization. Higher fares may be tougher to pass on as pent-up demand unwinds and consumer budget pressures continue, with the slow return of corporate travel unable to provide much of an offset.Consolidation. Consolidation may eventually combat some structural profitability headwinds. The Lufthansa-ITA and Air France-SAS (as part of a consortium) minority deals are in process, together with IAG’s pursuit for the remainder of Air Europa. A controlling stake of TAP Air Portugal is also up for grabs.
