Airlines sell a product that ceases to exist at departure. An unsold seat cannot be inventoried, and the cost of flying it is almost identical to the cost of flying a full one, which makes load factor and revenue per available seat mile the two numbers that decide profitability.
On top of that sits fuel, the largest variable cost and one set in a commodity market the airline does not participate in. Hedging programmes shift the timing of that exposure but do not remove it. Add heavy debt and lease obligations against aircraft and the result is a industry where small changes in demand or fuel price produce very large changes in profit.
