24th Annual CIBC Eastern Institutional Investor Conference summary25 Sep, 2025

Demand and network performance

  • Estimated $375 million revenue impact from the recent strike, mainly in August, with booking softness attributed to labor disruption rather than consumer weakness.

  • International network remains strong, with extended transatlantic leisure demand into October and robust Sixth Freedom traffic, especially from U.S. travelers connecting internationally.

  • Corporate travel is recovering well across Canadian domestic, U.S. transborder, and international segments.

  • Canadian domestic leisure faces more pressure due to increased capacity, while international routes to China and Hong Kong see competition from Chinese carriers; Japan and Australia perform strongly.

  • Premium cabin demand is solid, with premium revenue making up about 30% and growing 5% year-over-year in 2024.

Capacity, yield, and cost management

  • Capacity was redeployed to absorb market changes, with a focus on maintaining premium and corporate travel segments.

  • Yields have remained stable post-strike, with no need for significant discounting; fuel prices have been steady and are a key factor in yield and cost.

  • The airline recovered quickly from the strike, restoring normal booking patterns within days.

  • Committed to $150 million in cost savings for the year, with ongoing focus on productivity and efficiency through 2026.

  • Updated CASM guidance reflects capacity reductions due to the strike, with cost structure largely unchanged except for variable costs like fuel.

Strategic growth and fleet plans

  • Growth strategy is anchored on international expansion, demographic trends, and Sixth Freedom traffic, with new routes to Spain, Sicily, and expanded Latin American destinations.

  • Fleet modernization continues, with significant narrow-body aircraft additions planned for 2026, expected to drive cost efficiency and margin expansion.

  • Full-year impact of current labor agreements will be seen in 2026, with another major contract due that year.

  • $10 billion CapEx planned through 2027, with flexibility via sale-leasebacks to manage peak spending and maintain leverage targets.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
