Finnair Plc. Stock Exchange Release 8 October 2013 at 09:00



In September, Finnair traffic measured in Revenue Passenger Kilometres rose by
7.4 per cent and the overall capacity grew 4.0 per cent year‐on‐year. Passenger

The capacity in Asian traffic grew by 3.9 per cent and the traffic measured in
Revenue Passenger Kilometres by 5.7 per cent year‐on‐year. 

European traffic measured in Revenue Passenger Kilometres grew by 13.1 per cent
and capacity by 8.1 per cent year-on-year. 

In July-September, the passenger unit revenue* per available seat kilometre
fell by 7.3% year‐on-year, and was 5.69 euro cents. 

“Despite the positive load factor development, unit revenue for the second
quarter decreased year‐on‐year, mainly reflecting the weakening of Japanese
Yen.” says Finnair CFO Erno Hildén. 

Leisure traffic measured in Revenue Passenger Kilometres decreased by 5.6 per
cent and capacity decreased by 7.0 per cent year-on-year. 

In cargo, traffic measured in revenue tonne kilometres grew by 2.0 per cent and
the overall capacity grew by 5.7 per cent year-on-year. The load factor was 2.4
percentage points below last year's level and was 67.3 per cent. 

In September, the arrival punctuality of Finnair flights was excellent.  In
Scheduled traffic, 91.0 per cent of flights arrived on schedule (91.8). Of all
traffic, 90.4 per cent (91.5) of flights were on schedule. 

*Unit revenue = Ticket revenue/ASK.
