Finnair Traffic Performance in August 2015

Finnair Plc. Stock Exchange Release 7 September 2015 at 09:00 EET

Number of passengers grew by 8.7 per cent year‐on‐year

In August, Finnair's overall capacity measured in Available Passenger Kilometres
grew by 1.6 per cent and traffic measured in Revenue Passenger Kilometres grew
by 3.3 per cent year‐on‐year. The passenger load factor increased by 1.5%-points
to 86.3 per cent.

The capacity in Asian traffic decreased by 6.5 per cent and the traffic measured
in Revenue Passenger Kilometres decreased by 4.0 per cent year‐on‐year. The
capacity decrease reflects comfort-improving cabin configuration changes made
across the wide-body fleet last winter, and the discontinuation of the seasonal
Hanoi route in June 2015, whereas it was operated until September last year. At
the same time, the opening of the seasonal Chicago route in June shows as
pronounced growth in American traffic.

The capacity in European traffic grew by 5.4 per cent and traffic measured in
Revenue Passenger Kilometres grew by 7.7 per cent year‐on‐year. The growth
reflects, among other things, the change of certain European charter flights
into scheduled traffic and new summer season routes. At the same time, the
growth in domestic traffic is attributed to the transfer of the flights
previously operated at Norra's own commercial risk to Finnair's purchased
traffic.

In August, the cargo capacity in scheduled traffic, measured in Available Tonne
Kilometres grew by 6.6 per cent and Revenue Tonne Kilometres increased by 5.1
per cent year-on-year. The cargo load factor in scheduled traffic was 55.0 per
cent. The overall cargo figures reflect a structural change from the comparison
period, as Finnair withdrew from the use of leased NGA freighter aircraft
capacity in Asian traffic. In August, the cargo traffic consisted almost
entirely of belly cargo on scheduled flights.

In August, 91.9 per cent of all Finnair flights arrived on schedule (87.1).

Traffic statistics for September are published on Wednesday, 7 October 2015.
