Alaska Air Group Cuts 4Q Outlook on Government Shutdown, IT Outage

Dow Jones12-04

By Elias Schisgall

Alaska Air Group slashed its guidance for the current due to revenue lost during the government shutdown, a computer systems outage and rising fuel costs.

The owner of Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines said Wednesday it now projects fourth-quarter adjusted earnings per share of 10 cents, compared to previous guidance of at least 40 cents a share.

The company estimated that an IT outage accounted for 25 cents of the decrease, with the shutdown and fuel costs each adding 15 cents. A consultant has been hired to audit the company's IT infrastructure following the outage and is implementing best practice recommendations to boost its technological resiliency.

Alaska Air Group experienced 600 cancellations during the shutdown effecting roughly 40,000 customers.

Earlier in the day Delta Air Lines said that its profit shrank by $200 million, or 25 cents a share, due to the shutdown.
