FINNAIR'S SCHEDULED TRAFFIC GREW 16 PER CENT, CARGO 30 PER CENT
FINNAIR PLC STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE 8 June 2010 AT 09:00 The strong growth in scheduled traffic that began in March continued in May. Scheduled traffic grew by 16 per cent from the previous year. Asian traffic demand was strengthened by 28 per cent. Passenger numbers in May totalled 590,000, which was three per cent more than a year earlier. The passenger load factor in scheduled traffic improved by around three percentage points to 70 per cent. “It's excellent that demand returned after the problems of April. Scheduled traffic demand and the passenger load factor are again moving in the right direction, but aircraft still have room for additional demand,” says Finnair SVP Communications Christer Haglund. In traffic overall, demand grew in May by ten per cent from last year, with capacity increasing by nearly eight per cent. The passenger load factor rose by one and a half percentage points to 71 per cent. Overall traffic figures include leisure traffic in addition to scheduled traffic. Demand for leisure flights fell by 21 per cent. The change in Finnair's total seat capacity for the early part of the year was -10 per cent, while demand fell by just over six per cent. Cargo demand has developed well. The number of kilos carried rose by 30 per cent from the previous year, and on Asian routes by 37 per cent. The figures include the performance of Finnair's own MD-11 cargo aircraft, which began operating in mid-May. The cargo aircraft flies from Helsinki to Hong Kong and to Seoul in South Korea. In May, 87.4% of all Finnair flights arrived on time, which is 4.8 percentage points less than in May last year. On-time performance percentage for scheduled traffic fell by 4.9 percentage points compared to May in the previous year, resulting in 88.5% this year.
