VOLCANIC ASH AFFECTED FINNAIR'S APRIL TRAFFIC FIGURES
FINNAIR OYJ STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE MAY 10, 2010 AT 09:00 The ash discharged by the volcanic eruption in Iceland disrupted traffic in Europe and Finnair flights were at a total standstill for five whole days. This affected all April traffic figures. Due to the ash cloud, more bookings were postponed and cancelled than usual, so load factors were lower than usual. "Finnair's traffic was adversely affected by the ash cloud for over a week, which was an unprecedented situation. Within airspace restrictions, we were able at first to resume flights gradually and the situation returned to normal traffic within a few days," says Finnair SVP Communications Christer Haglund. Finnair's traffic overall, measured in revenue passenger kilometres, declined by nearly 23 per cent in April compared with the previous year. Available seat kilometres also declined by more than 22 per cent. Scheduled traffic was more than 16 per cent lower. The impact of the ash was smallest in Asian traffic, which declined by just under six per cent, because it was possible to resume long-haul flights more quickly. The trend for the early part of the year was positive, however. In January-April, Finnair's scheduled traffic grew, measured in revenue passenger kilometres, by one and a half per cent. Asian traffic grew by nearly seven per cent. Leisure traffic declined by a third in the early part of the year. Passenger load factors were also at a good level in the early part of the year.
