2010-08-05 08:00:00 CEST 2010-08-05 08:00:04 CEST REGULATED INFORMATION Finnair Oyj - Company AnnouncementGROWTH IN FINNAIR'S ASIAN TRAFFIC AND CARGO FIGURESFINNAIR PLC STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE 5 August 2010 AT 09:00 Finnair's traffic, measured in passenger kilometres, grew by three per cent in July compared with July the previous year. Growth came mainly from Asian traffic, which was up by more than 11 per cent. The load factor for Asian traffic also improved by nearly one percentage point to 85 per cent, with capacity increasing 10 per cent compared with last year. There were nearly 12 per cent more passengers on Asian flights than in the previous July. "Growth is good in our main strategy area, namely Asia-Europe traffic. We have increased capacity and we will increase it further. Flights will be added to existing destinations and a new destination, Singapore, will be opened next spring," says Finnair's SVP Communications Christer Haglund. European traffic declined by just over four per cent in July. Capacity was cut by slightly more than one per cent, so the load factor fell by a few percentage points to less than 75 per cent. Domestic traffic declined by nearly three per cent and capacity was cut by just under one per cent, leading to the load factor falling by around one percentage point to just over 62 per cent. North Atlantic traffic declined by 16 per cent. The load factor remained at just over 89 per cent. Leisure traffic grew by slightly more than three per cent. Due to a capacity cut of a few per cent, the load factor rose by nearly five percentage points to almost 91 per cent. The amount of cargo carried by Finnair grew in July by more than 54 per cent compared with July last year. In scheduled traffic, the amount of cargo grew by more than 30 per cent and cargo flights initiated this year are also reflected in the figures. Of Finnair's flights, 86 per cent arrived on schedule in July, which represents a decline of three and a half percentage points from July last year. In scheduled traffic, punctuality was over 87 per cent, which was just over three per cent lower than the previous July.
