2009-02-09 08:00:00 CET 2009-02-09 08:00:02 CET REGULATED INFORMATION Finnair Oyj - Company AnnouncementFINNAIR CUT SCHEDULED TRAFFIC IN JANUARYFINNAIR PLC STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE 9 FEBRUARY 2009 AT 09:00 Finnair's scheduled traffic capacity was cut in January by more than five per cent. The load factor of international scheduled traffic load rose by nearly five and a half percentage points compared with January last year. Tickets prices, however, are low. “The average price is still clearly below last year's level, because business travel continues to fall,” says Finnair SVP Communications Christer Haglund. Growth in Asian traffic has fallen to less than two per cent. The impact of the capacity cuts in Asian traffic was nearly eight per cent. The load factor rose in Asian traffic by nearly eight percentage points. North American traffic grew by more than 21 per cent, influenced to a large extent by the addition of one flight per week to New York. North American traffic accounts for around six per cent of scheduled traffic's revenue passenger kilometres. Domestic traffic figures reflect planned capacity cuts; capacity was nearly seven per cent less than last year. Leisure traffic grew in January by nearly 16 per cent and capacity increased by nearly 17 per cent. The leisure traffic load factor was high, 93.5 per cent. The fall in cargo demand continues. In January more than 20 per cent less cargo was carried. Finnair traffic Finnair traffic altogether increased by 6.3%, measured in revenue passenger kilometres. Capacity increased by 0.3%.
