Executive summary — budget bridge (council-reviewed): April was the real miss vs plan (R43.7M published vs R208.4M budget — the R164.7M fuel shock from the Iran-war spike). May closed at −R109.7M published (operating −R122.0M, other IS +R+12M) vs −R64.5M budget (R45.1M worse). Budget bridge: revenue +R92M beat · fuel +R105M tailwind (volume-driven) · non-fuel −R254M over budget (R680M actual vs ~R426M implied) → −R122M operating. June MTD (days 1-11, SummaryExcel updated 2026-06-12): 1,447 flights, 178k pax, 65.0% LF, R247M revenue. Day 11 was a very weak day (3.4 pax/flight), pulling MTD LF down from 76.4% → 65.0%. Base case projects remainder at MTD rate (65% LF) → full month R807M revenue, vs R1011M budget. Non-fuel anchored to 50/50 Apr/May blend (R133k/flt, council unanimous).
Material changes detected since 2026-05-07 baseline:- IATA jet fuel moved materially: latest $146.25/bbl vs baseline $181.0/bbl (down 19.2%). Scenario fuel R/L inputs may need updating.
- May MTD yield R1,388 differs from original R1,583 baseline (-12.3%). May scenario yields may need adjustment.
- May MTD LF 78.0% differs from original 81.5% baseline by >3.5pp.
How to read this report & glossary

May revenue + costs + PBT are ACTUAL (commercial/Radixx + X3 GL closed 2026-06-11). Operating PBT −R122.0M → Published PBT −R109.7M (other IS +R+12M). GL figure is final; Radixx ran within ±1% of GL.
May story — budget bridge: revenue +R92M beat (R1,160M vs R1,068M) · fuel +R105M tailwind (volume-driven, R/L actually ROSE R13.26 → R14.67) · non-fuel −R254M over budget (R680M actual vs ~R426M implied by budget PBT −R65M) → operating PBT −R122M, R45M worse than budget of −R65M. The non-fuel overrun is the swing — and it is the new normal (R138k/flt vs March R127k), not a one-off.
Fuel R/L method: delivered R/L = lagged-Platts jet × ZAR/USD + ~R6.40/L fixed delivery differential (into-plane, levy, transport, margin). May actual R14.67 closed in line with the lagged-Platts-plus-differential framework.
Sensitivity: R1/L fuel = R41.0M PBT (May) / R39.1M PBT (June) — i.e. R1/L move × uplift volume = PBT impact. FX note: ZAR/USD is the main overhead+fuel swing — a R1/USD move changes effective R/L by ~R1.35–1.50.
Operating vs reported PBT (CRITICAL — do not conflate): April reported +R44M vs operating +R37M (R6.5M other IS favour). May reported −R109.7M vs operating −R122.0M (R+12M other IS favour). June forecast shows OPERATING PBT only (other IS line not modelled). The board signs off on REPORTED PBT — the R12M May gap implies June reported PBT ≈ operating + R12M if other IS holds at May run-rate.
Scenario pairing: opt = strong demand + soft fuel; pess = weak demand + sticky fuel. The band is NOT a confidence interval — it represents paired demand+fuel assumptions. "Stress test — April fuel held flat" is a <10% tail, shown for symmetry with May. Base (central) is the headline scenario.
Costs for both months projected off April actuals: R67,872/flight direct (variable) + R323.3M overheads (flat).
April actual → May actual — driver decomposition (operating PBT swing)
May revenue, costs, PBT are ACTUAL (commercial/Radixx + X3 GL closed 2026-06-11). Fuel cost at base R14.67/L.
This table decomposes the −R159.2M operating PBT swing
into its three drivers. The key insight: fuel HELPED (fell R104.7M) — the swing is
driven by the R267.7M seasonal revenue drop and a non-fuel overrun, cushioned only partially by fuel relief.
| APR (actual) | MAY (actual rev / base fuel) | Δ | Driver note |
|---|
| Revenue | R1,427.2M | R1,159.5M [ACTUAL] | −R267.7M | Seasonal demand drop — fewer and cheaper passengers (LF 81.9% vs Apr 86.2%) |
| Fuel cost | R706.5M | R601.9M [ACTUAL R14.67/L] | +R104.7M | Fuel HELPED (volume-driven): fewer flights (5,307 → 4,929) drove most of the relief; R/L actually ROSE R13.26 → R14.67. Net fuel cost fell R104.7M |
| Non-fuel cost | R683.5M | R679.7M [ACTUAL] | +R3.8M | Reduced schedule (5,307 → 4,929 flights) saved variable direct costs; overheads held flat at ~R333M |
| Operating PBT swing | R43.7M (operating) | −R122.0M [base] | −R159.2M | Revenue seasonality drove the swing; fuel + cost savings partially offset |
Fuel premium context. At normal pre-Iran fuel (~R19/L), May operating PBT would be ≈ −R299.7M (a R177.6M swing vs actual). The ~R-178M fuel premium (actual vs ~R19/L) is the swing. The story is revenue seasonality + non-fuel overrun + residual fuel premium — revenue fell R267.7M, non-fuel was broadly flat, fuel helped R104.7M.
FX & Fuel Sensitivity
Fuel ≈ USD 1.00/L (Platts-linked), so ZAR/USD is the dominant fuel swing. Sensitivity = fuel volume × R1/L (or USD/ZAR × ~R1.35–1.50 per USD step).
Overheads carry additional USD exposure (leases, maintenance) not captured here.

| −R1.00 (ZAR stronger) | +R41.0M | +R39.1M | Fuel FX only; overheads carry additional USD exposure not modelled |

Caveats & Methodology
NOTE — findash reconciliation gap > R15M (warn threshold)- Mar reconciliation gap R30.2M > R15.0M (warn threshold = max(R15M, 1% rev R1234M)): revenue - total_costs = 97.2M vs pbt_r 127.4M. Non-operating IS items (finance costs, tax, other income) likely explain the gap.
Non-operating IS items (finance costs, tax, other income) likely explain the gap. Gap = published PBT − (revenue − total costs).
Methodology notes & assumptions
- March + April + May fuel costs are ACTUALS — pulled from
kpi_data.json fuel_r / fuel_uplift / avg_fuel_per_liter_uplifted / total_costs / pbt_r. No estimates or back-solves used for these months.
- Non-fuel/flight (R127,276) derived at runtime from April actuals:
(total_costs − fuel_r) / flights. Used as the May cost base.
- April delivered R/L (R13.26) was the fuel price anchor. May actual delivered R/L = R14.67 (kpi_data fuel_r / fuel_uplift) — fuel has eased from April.
- May L/flight (8,324) derived from April actual uplift ÷ flights. Stage-length mix shift could vary this ±2-3%.
- Hedging not modelled — assumes spot pass-through.
- May revenue, yield, LF, pax are ACTUAL (commercial/Radixx · X3 GL closed 2026-06-11). Only May fuel R/L was a projection (now confirmed at R14.67). June revenue, yield, LF are MTD (days 1-11, SummaryExcel updated 2026-06-12) + projected remainder (days 12-30 at MTD rate). MTD LF 65.0% is the binding number — day 11 was a very weak day (3.4 pax/flight) pulling MTD down from 76.4%. Back-half is school-holiday-loaded; opt assumes a partial recovery to LF 75% total, base holds MTD at 65%.

How the R288M fuel hike was absorbed
194M fares
34M cost
84M PBT
R288M fuel increase absorbed via: R194M higher fares + R34M fewer-flight cost savings + R24M other IS items + R84M dropped to PBT.
Total absorption check: R288M ≈ R288M ✓ (revenue + nonfuel saving + other IS + PBT drop = fuel hike).
Operating recovery (revenue + cost savings): R228M of R288M = 79.2%.
May (proj) columns show the Base-case projection (SummaryExcel revenue + QV fuel burn + anchored B4i fuel R/L) — not a closed month. The fuel-hike absorption % above is a March→April measure: April→May fuel falls (smaller, lower-volume month + B4i easing), so there is no hike to absorb into May.
Three views of "recovery"
| Definition | Numerator | Denominator | % |
|---|
| Revenue ÷ fuel hike (gross) | +R194M revenue | R288M fuel hike | 67.2% |
| Revenue ÷ net cost increase | +R194M revenue | R254M net (288−34) | 76.3% |
| Total absorption (rev + cost cuts) ÷ fuel hike | +R228M (194+34) | R288M | 79.2% |
Reading these views. The revenue-only bar understates the real picture — it ignores the non-fuel cost saving from flying fewer flights.
Per-pax recovery is highest because it strips volume effects. Total absorption is the most complete view — it captures both fare recovery and cost reduction. The residual is what actually dropped to PBT.

Reading: Surcharges tripled 17 Mar → 7 Apr peak. Easing since as B4i tariffs came down.
Each weekly file flows: B4i tariffs → fuel R/L → litres burned per route × R/L = surcharge per flight ÷ pax = surcharge per pax.

Year-to-Date Fuel Impact — 2026 vs 2025 appendix
Calendar YTD (Jan–Apr) · closed-month actuals only · source: kpi_data.json
The fuel shock is cumulative — this is the running total for the year so far. Two headline numbers:
how much extra we have spent on fuel versus the same months last year, and how much of that
has actually fallen through to PBT after fare and capacity recovery.

All figures are closed-month actuals from kpi_data.json. No estimates, no MTD month — the in-progress
month is excluded so the comparison stays like-for-like. See the methodology markdown for the full input log.
