Well they did refund the airport tax which is about 10% of the ticket price. So how are airlines losing money if passengers don't show up?

AlephZero posted...who is saying airlines lose money if people don't show up Because if you can sell 110 tickets for a 100 person plane, and don't have to refund the 10 people who don't show up, that's 10% more profit per flight. --- "Impossible is just a word people use to make themselves feel better when they quit" - SoA ...

Because it maximizes revenue. "Lost potential revenue" and "lost money" aren't the same thing. If a plane takes off with empty seats the airline has missed out on potential revenue. If you don't show up to a flight and they overbooked the flight so someone else ends up in your seat then they are maximizing their revenue.
