摘要

Europe's big airlines are beginning to see a spark of recovery after the air-travel slump caused by recession and September 11th. Air France was the harbinger when it reported January traffic fractionally higher than a year earlier and losses for the fourth quarter of 2001 that were lower than expected. Encouraged by this, it now intends to run as many flights this summer as it did in 2001. KLM is also stepping up its summer flights. These are the first signs that European carriers may restore the roughly 20% of capacity they cut to match the fall in traffic last autumn. British Airways (BA) and Lufthansa are also seeing signs of recovery as load factors creep back. Lufthansa says its January traffic was 7.6% below a year earlier, which, given a 12% cut in capacity, means that its load factor and productivity have improved. "The winter is ending, the frost is melting", says Wolfgang Mayrhuber, who runs Lufthansa's airline operations. Lufthansa will decide over the next two weeks how much capacity it will restore this summer. It expects a gradual recovery in intercontinental traffic, though its European business (particularly in Germany) is not coming back as strongly. B A is in a different position, since its chief executive Rod Eddington is in the middle of a strategic shrinking of the airline not wholly connected with the crisis: BA is getting rid of 13,000 jobs and cutting 20% of capacity permanently to stem chronic losses.
