June 2011 Traffic Performance

FINNAIR PLC   STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE   7 July 2011 AT 09:00



In June 2011, Finnair traffic measured in Revenue Passenger Kilometres rose by
13.3% compared with June 2010. Capacity measured in Available Seat Kilometres
grew by 15.8%, over 30% in Asian traffic mainly as a result of Singapore route
launch. 

“Long-haul business travel demand continued to develop positively and business
class travel grew in June, particularly in Asian traffic. Business class demand
in total grew by a fifth during the second quarter. Business travel to Japan is
recovering but remains to be below last year's levels. However, the travel
directed from Japan to Europe has remained solid. Despite substantial capacity
growth, the overall load factor dropped only slightly,” says Finnair CFO Erno
Hildén. 

The unit revenue per passenger kilometre remained flat during the second
quarter. In scheduled traffic the unit revenue change was -1.1 %. The
situations in Japan and Middle East in addition to the overcapacity in the
domestic market were reflected in unit revenue development compared to previous
year. 

From the beginning of the summer season some of the previous leisure flights
have been operated as scheduled services. The capacity change in Finnair's
leisure traffic results from these changes in addition to flight cancellations
to Egypt and Tunis. 

The arrival punctuality of Finnair flights in June was 82.6% (87.3%) of all
flights arrived on schedule. The arrival punctuality of scheduled flights was
83.5% (88.7%).Punctuality figures were affected by, among other things, air
traffic control restrictions in Finland and border control congestion in
Helsinki.
