Lovitură pentru marile companii aeriene din China: Vor termina anul pe minus după problemele din perioada lor cea mai profitabilă

China's major airlines are facing significant losses as they approach the end of the year, with third-quarter results showing a sharp decline compared to last year. Rising fuel costs, low domestic fares, and disruptions from typhoons have contributed to this downturn. Air China and China Eastern Airlines are on track for their seventh consecutive year of net losses since the COVID-19 pandemic began. China Southern Airlines, which had returned to profit in 2025, is also expected to report losses. All three airlines reported losses in the first nine months of the year, contrasting with profits in the same period last year. The surge in jet fuel prices has severely impacted their financial performance, and they are less hedged against fuel price fluctuations compared to their Asian and European counterparts. Analysts predict continued net losses in the fourth quarter due to these challenges, with airline stocks dropping significantly this year.
