WOOD Flash – Pegasus Airlines: 2Q24 – RASK (up 4% yoy) ahead of our and the consensus estimates

Pegasus has managed to reverse the negative RASK trend of the first quarter, delivering a 4% higher RASK yoy in 2Q24. This was driven by a materially stronger load factor yoy, as well as a good ancillary take up, which offset the pressure on passenger yields (the international passenger yield was down to EUR 68/pax, from EUR 75/pax in 2Q23). The company has maintained its guidance of a flat RASK, a mid-to-high single digit higher ex-fuel CASK (CASKx), and a 28-30% EBITDA margin for 2024E. Following the strong capacity growth seen so far (the ASK was up by 18% yoy in 1H24), Pegasus has adjusted its capacity growth guidance upwards, to 12-24% yoy, in 2024E, from the 10-12% guided for previously.
