Travel halts hit Qantas hard, but perhaps not as much as others

Airlines and travel have ground to a standstill since the onset of the pandemic — and no operator has gone untouched.

With Lufthansa, Germany’s national carrier, staring down the barrel of bankruptcy, Air France-KLM recently being approved for a €7 billion bailout by the European commission, along with the collapse of Virgin Australia in recent weeks — it’s clear the aviation industry has seen better times.

Qantas for its part, appears to have moved swiftly to ensure it can deal with both the short-term and long-term impacts of COVID-19.

In an announcement made on 5 May, Qantas outlined that it had secured another $550 million in debt funding secured against three of its wholly-owned Boeing 787-9 aircraft.

Qantas Group CEO Alan Joyce said:

‘Our cash balance shows that we’re in an extraordinarily strong position, which under the circumstances we absolutely have to be. We do not know how long domestic and international travel restrictions will last or what demand will look like as they’re gradually lifted.’

Light at the end of the tunnel?

Both Australia and New Zealand have had a degree of success in ‘flattening the curve’ of the COVID-19 virus, in short, slowing the proliferation of the virus through society.

This has prompted the idea of a ‘trans-Tasman bubble’ which would allow international travel between the two nations.

With all other international travel closed for the time being, this could well be a way to test the waters.

It would also be a positive, if tentative, first step for Qantas.

Looking to the charts, we see that Qantas has found resistance at the historical level of $3.87.

While this may have stopped a further move up for now, trading on the Qantas share price has seen stabilised volume of late.

Trading has recently been within the range of $3.87 and $3.50.

With the airline industry still in crisis mode, it may be a bit too early to be predicting upside targets.

But considering the fate of some of Qantas’ international peers, having a floor put under it may signal a Qantas share price rebound in the months ahead.
