AA kom med sine tall:
AA reports $344 million 4Q net loss, $1.5 billion loss for 2009
The parent company of American Airlines (AA) reported a fourth-quarter net loss of $344 million and a $1.5 billion loss for all of 2009, citing a sharp decline in revenue that wiped out the benefits of lower fuel prices.

“The fuel crisis of 2008 was replaced by the worst recession in decades -- which hurt travel demand severely -- and tight capital markets,” said AA Chairman, President and CEO Gerard Arpey.

AA will also increase international capacity in 2010 after cutting less overall capacity than expected in the fourth quarter.
 
Her kom vi...

HOUSTON, Jan. 21, 2010 – Continental Airlines (NYSE: CAL) today announced a 2009 full-year net loss of $282 million ($2.18 diluted loss per share). Excluding $145 million of previously announced special charges, and a $158 million non-cash income tax benefit, Continental recorded a net loss of $295 million ($2.28 diluted loss per share) for the year.

For the fourth quarter of 2009, Continental reported a fourth quarter net income of $85 million ($0.60 diluted earnings per share). Excluding $77 million of previously announced special charges, and a $158 million non-cash income tax benefit, Continental recorded a fourth quarter net income of $4 million ($0.03 diluted earnings per share).

Full-year 2009 and fourth-quarter results continued to be adversely affected by declines in high yield traffic due to the global recession.

“My co-workers have done a superb job working through enormous challenges in 2009, while providing the best customer service and product in the business,” said Jeff Smisek, Continental’s chairman, president and chief executive officer. “While we are seeing some business traffic increasing, we likely have a long and slow road to recovery. We remain focused on achieving and maintaining profitability.”
