Low-cost airline Spicejet on Monday reported a 10 per cent decline in net profit to Rs 50.55 crore for the first quarter (April-June) of the current financial year (2013-14). The company had clocked a net profit of Rs 56.15 crore in the year-ago period, Spicejet said in a filing to the BSE.
Total income from operations however, increased to Rs 1,704.30 crore in the April-June quarter from Rs 1,466.69 crore during the same period last year, it said.
The overall performance should be considered satisfactory and has to be viewed in the context of several adverse circumstances that continue to make the business environment for the airline industry extremely challenging, the company added.
Fuel cost as a proportion fell to 43 per cent of the total revenue in the current quarter as against 46 per cent in the comparable quarter for the previous year, mainly due to better realisations from our overseas routes that now make up almost 11 per cent of revenues, it said.
