儘管面對挑戰，林紹波強調，長遠仍看好香港快運的發展前景，並有信心其業務將很快恢復盈利。 他指出，快運的基本營運數據較好，包括飛機使用率去年升一成，以及單位成本下降一成，顯示其競爭力持續增強。此外，快運持續增加航點，而市場對低成本航空的需求強勁，航班入座率亦表現理想。 期內，國泰貨運收益按年增長8.3%至240億元，但隨著中美關係緊張，美國進一步對中國商品加徵至20%的關稅，貨運業務前景仍存在不確定性。國泰顧客及商務總裁劉凱詩表示，雖然短期內關稅措施可能對貨運業務造成影響，但整體需求仍然強勁，且國泰擁有高度靈活的業務模式，可根據市場需求變化調整航線與運力。 她舉例，現時市場談到「中國加一」（企業在中國以外的地區建立額外的生產或供應基地），而國泰在東南亞、越南、印度等地均擁有完善的貨運網絡，有能力靈活調整以應對貨物流向變化。此外，國泰亦積極拓展多元化貨運業務，減少對單一貨運類型的依賴，例如溫控貨物、醫療物資及特殊貨物解決方案。她強調，團隊會密切關注市場動態，並與貨主及貨運代理保持緊密溝通，以迅速應對需求變化。 針對香港政府增加機場離境稅的措施，劉凱詩表示，此舉或影響香港作為旅遊目的地及中轉樞紐的吸引力，不僅對香港出境旅客造成影響，亦可能降低內地及國際長途旅客選擇香港作為轉機點的興趣，進而轉向亞洲其他機場。她指出，國泰將就此議題與政府溝通。 其他報道 星展目標未來3年財富管理收入增一倍 今年擬增聘最多兩成零售銀行人手 亞博館早前斥資10億元升級設施 3月將辦Jisoo見面會 Zara母企上季業績符預期 今年首季業務放緩 富衛集團去年扭虧轉賺2400萬美元 國泰調整有擔保可轉換債券轉換價 未償還本金總額21.64億元 Capital Group 增持攜程 瑞銀增持平保 蔡崇信：人工智能市場規模最少78萬億元 非凡領越：testoni 將於米蘭設立全球旗艦店 儲能電池供應商雙登集團遞表申上市 全日沽空金額增10% 南方恒生科技增97% 盈富增1.9倍 恒指跌181點 北水成交增 流入262億史上次高 盈富蟬聯成交榜首 中國1年期利率互換邁向近兩年最大跌幅 國債普遍大幅上漲 美銀證券重申比亞迪電子「買入」評級 目標價升近四成至60元 去年9月至11月本港私貸金額跌1.3% 反映金融機構取態審慎 滬深三大指數午後向下 滬指以近日中低位收市 銀河證券：港股今年ADT可達2040億元 港交所目標價看升40% 沃爾瑪據報因要求中國供應商大幅減價被商務部約談 中信國際電訊去年盈利跌26% 末期息12.8仙 【有片：埋身擊】美國倘通脹回落利減息 黃金和白銀可伺機向上 Deliveroo撤出香港 私隱專員公署：將向戶戶送展開循規審查 361度全年多賺19% 末期息10港仙 半日沽空金額減12% 阿里沽空減53% 台積電據報建議英偉達、AMD等 入股英特爾晶圓廠合資企業 Source link
