Finnair Traffic Performance in April 2016


Finnair Plc. Stock Exchange Release 9 April 2016 at 09:00 am EET

Number of passengers grew 4.4% year‐on‐year

In April, Finnair's overall capacity measured in Available Seat Kilometres grew
by 3.4 per cent. Traffic measured in Revenue Passenger Kilometres declined by
0.1 per cent year‐on‐year. The passenger load factor declined by 2.4%-points to
75.1 per cent. The timing of Easter in March 2016 reduced April leisure traffic
from last year, when Easter was in April. In addition, the terror strike at
Brussels airport in late March weighed on passenger demand in April on many
routes.

The capacity in Asian traffic grew moderately, by 1.1 per cent in April, while
traffic declined by 3.1 per cent. Meanwhile, capacity in American traffic
increased by 47.3 per cent due to the Miami route being operated this year, and
traffic measured in RPK grew by as much as 34.0 per cent.

The capacity in European traffic declined by 1.1 per cent, and traffic declined
by 1.7 per cent year‐on‐year. At the same time, the capacity in domestic traffic
grew by 22.7 per cent and traffic by 15.1 per cent year‐on‐year, particularly
due to the inclusion of the routes previously operated at Norra’s own commercial
risk as Finnair’s purchased traffic after the reference period.

In April, the cargo capacity in scheduled traffic measured in Available Tonne
Kilometres grew by 3.9 per cent, and Revenue Tonne Kilometres increased by 22.3
per cent year on year. In addition to belly capacity on passenger flights,
Finnair’s total freight capacity includes two weekly freighter flights between
Helsinki and Brussels and one freighter flight shared with IAG between Helsinki
and London, both operated by DHL.

In April, 94.3 per cent of all Finnair flights arrived on schedule (90.6).

Traffic statistics for May 2016 will be published on Wednesday, 8 June 2016.
