Finnair Traffic Performance in January 2016


Finnair Plc              Stock Exchange Release              8 February 2016 at
09:00 EET

Number of passengers grew in all traffic areas, 9.4% year‐on‐year as a whole

In January, Finnair's overall capacity measured in Available Passenger
Kilometres grew by 4.4 per cent and traffic measured in Revenue Passenger
Kilometres grew by 6.3 per cent year‐on‐year. The passenger load factor rose by
1.4 % points to 77.9 per cent.

The capacity in Asian traffic increased in January by 3.0 per cent, while
traffic measured in Revenue Passenger Kilometres increased by 7.6 per cent
year‐on‐year. The growth was largely due to the higher seating capacity of the
A350 compared to the retired A340 aircraft. Meanwhile, the slight decline of
capacity in American traffic was due to the temporary operation of the New York
route on smaller wet-leased fleet for part of the month. At the same time,
however, the number of passengers and passenger load factor on transatlantic
flights increased.

The capacity in European traffic grew by 5.5 per cent on the back of increased
frequencies and new destinations, while traffic measured in Revenue Passenger
Kilometres grew by 3.5 per cent year‐on‐year. At the same time, the growth in
domestic traffic is mainly attributed to the inclusion of the routes previously
operated at Norra’s own commercial risk as Finnair’s purchased traffic.

In January, the cargo capacity in scheduled traffic measured in Available Tonne
Kilometres grew by 3.1 per cent, and Revenue Tonne Kilometres increased by 15.8
per cent year on year. The cargo load factor in scheduled traffic was 51.3 per
cent. In addition, Finnair’s total freight capacity includes two weekly
freighter flights between Helsinki and Brussels and two weekly freighter flights
shared with IAG between Helsinki and London, both operated by DHL.

In January, 74.2 per cent of all Finnair flights arrived on schedule (81.4).

Traffic statistics for February 2016 will be published on Tuesday, 8 March 2016.
