FINNAIR TRAFFIC DECLINES, LOAD FACTOR EXCELLENT
FINNAIR OYJ STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE 6 AUGUST 2009 AT 09:00 FINNAIR TRAFFIC DECLINES, LOAD FACTOR EXCELLENT Finnair's scheduled traffic declined in July by nearly seven per cent and passenger numbers were around three per cent lower than in July 2008. Capacity was cut by nearly nine per cent, which meant that passenger load factor rose to 81 per cent. “We have managed to adjust our capacity to correspond to lower demand, which has improved the passenger load factor. The price level is still regrettably poor, as has been the case throughout the early part of the year,” says Deputy CEO Lasse Heinonen. Asian traffic declined by nearly 13 per cent and capacity contracted by 17 per cent, thereby increasing the load factor in Asian traffic to nearly 84 per cent. In North American capacity, passenger volume and passenger kilometres all grew by 24 per cent. Passenger load factor remained at over 90 per cent. Growth of North American traffic is explained by an increase in flights to New York. In the summer season, Finnair is flying to New York ten times per week. European traffic was 2.5 per cent lower and passenger volume declined by 1.2 per cent. Capacity was reduced by 2.2 per cent. Passenger load factor fell to slightly over 77 per cent. Domestic traffic declined by 4.5 per cent. Capacity was reduced domestically by nearly four per cent and load factor was at the previous year's level of 63.5 per cent. In Leisure Flights, passenger volume in July was more than 23 per cent lower than a year earlier. Revenue passenger kilometres declined by nearly 18 per cent. Capacity was reduced by more than 13 per cent, but load factor declined by 4.5 per cent to 86 per cent.
