Vbeckers,
From their 7th April Rns;
"fastjet Zimbabwe expects that the significantly reduced global oil prices will help to cushion the financial impact of the forecast lower passenger demand when operations restart. The April 2020 fuel price is 35% lower than it was in January 2020, at which point fuel represented 23% of total operating costs."
I can only presume the Bod have the foresight to stock up on fuel, as it's clearly a huge cash burn.
If they do buy fuel and stock up during the low prices, and they resume their flights, for the short term they will be more profitable on costs.
And, I wholly expect flights not to be filled during the initial phase when flights return, which means less revenue on a full plane - but the reduced fuel costs may cushion that initial phased return (especially if the middle aisle seat won't be sold to assist with distancing).
Who knows, but if they can ride this horrendous time out, we won't be at the share price we are now.
All in my humble.....
