We Lower Air France-KLM's Fair Value Estimate as We Incorporate a Slower Recovery
Business Strategy and Outlook
Air France-KLM is a European network carrier with major hubs at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris and Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam. The coronavirus dealt a heavy blow to the global airline industry, including Air France-KLM. We believe the crisis presents the group with a unique opportunity to restructure its cost base and renegotiate restrictive labor policies. The more imminent item on the group’s agenda is its unsustainable capital structure, which requires urgent restructuring. As a result, we are negative on the prospects for the group to generate shareholder value due to the high probability of value destruction.
