Résultats en baisse chez easyJet
Posté : mar. 21 nov. 2017, 17:06
EasyJet saw its profits fall 17% last year, with more than £100m lost due to the slump in the pound after the Brexit vote.
The airline reported a record year for passenger numbers, flying 80.2 million people, almost 10% more than in 2015-16, on ever fuller planes.
But while revenues exceeded £5bn in 2016-17, fares dipped to fill seats in what the chief executive, Carolyn McCall, said was “a difficult year for the aviation industry”.
McCall said: “Our planned approach of achieving number one or two positions at Europe’s leading airports, friendly and efficient customer service and a continuous focus on sustainable cost control, has put easyJet at a strategic advantage during a period when there have been bankruptcies and some airlines have struggled operationally.”
Profits before tax fell from £494m to £408m. Despite paying a lower dollar price for fuel, the continued weakness of sterling brought additional costs of £101m, easyJet said.
En 2016-2017, les bénéfices avant taxation ont chuté de 17 %, passant de 494 à 408 millions de £. La chute de la livre après l'annonce du Brexit a coûté 100 millions de £ à easyJet.
Le nombre de passagers a augmenté de presque 10%, passant à 80,2 millions.
