Group Earnings
The uncertain global economy weighed heavily on the Group’s earnings in the 2011-12 financial year, as the sovereign debt
crisis in the Eurozone and the economic slowdown in the United States impacted travel sentiment. In addition, during the early
part of the financial year, air travel demand was dampened by concerns over nuclear radiation following the Japan earthquake
and tsunami, as well as the political unrest in the Middle East and Northern Africa.
As the largest expense item of the Group, the persistently high fuel prices also took a toll on the Group’s bottom line. Political
tensions in the Middle East pushed jet fuel prices to more than USD130 per barrel since the beginning of the financial year.
Although fuel prices receded slightly in the second and third quarters, escalation of the events in the Middle East in the last
quarter of the financial year once again drove jet fuel prices up.
Against these challenges, Group revenue grew $333 million (+2.3 per cent) to $14,858 million, on the back of a 3.6 per cent
improvement in passenger carriage, but partially offset by weaker yields. The Group’s revenue by business segment is shown below:
