Southwest says the booking rebound is losing steam
Leslie Josephs

Southwest Airlines warns that a rebound in revenue is losing momentum
for November and December, a potentially worrying sign as airlines seek
to cash in on the holiday season in an otherwise dismal 2020.

“While the Company expected the election to impact trends, it is unclear
whether the softness in booking trends is also a direct result of the recent
rise in COVID-19 cases,” Southwest says in a filing. “As such, the Company
remains cautious in this uncertain revenue environment.”

Southwest says it expects fourth-quarter capacity to be down 40% from a
year ago and expects revenue to be down 60% to 65% in November and
December from 2019. It’s planning January capacity that would be down
35% to 40% from last year.

Last-minute leisure demand, however, has helped it trim its cash burn to
about $10 million a day in October, down from a previous estimate of $12
million a day. It expects daily cash burn of $10 million to $11 million in the
fourth quarter.
