Outlook

The domestic industry capacity will be flat for the next few quarters and with the increase in traffic over the next few months, we believe that the industry seat factors will trend up. The incremental traffic, though, will be at lower yields. We have eliminated our highest loss making routes from the International network and have rightsized our capacities on the North America routes. We expect corporate traffic to be subdued in the current quarter because of the economic slowdown.

The global recession is set to impact travel with corporate earnings slowing down and companies postponing their growth plans.Despite a significant drop in crude oil prices, airlines across the world are experiencing turbulent times. In India, we have also been impacted by the recent terror incidents which will impact traffic flows into India for the next few months.
