FINNAIR'S SCHEDULED TRAFFIC PICKS UP SLIGHTLY
FINNAIR OYJ STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE FEBRUARY 9, 2010 AT 09:00 Finnair's scheduled traffic has returned to cautious growth. Growth is particularly evident in cargo traffic, but a slight pick-up in passenger demand has also taken place in scheduled traffic. "Passenger demand in scheduled traffic has risen to a modest extent, but the average price is still slightly down from last year. Cargo demand is strengthening, particularly in Asian traffic and the decline in price level has come to a halt," says Finnair's SVP Communications Christer Haglund. Passenger demand in Finnair's scheduled flights grew in January by just under one per cent and capacity was cut by just over three per cent. The passenger load factor of scheduled flights rose by three percentage points to more than 74 per cent. A total of 0.5 million passengers travelled on scheduled flights, just over one per cent fewer than in January last year. Growth in scheduled traffic is derived mainly from Asian and European traffic. Measured in passenger kilometres, both grew by two per cent compared with the previous January. North American traffic declined by four per cent. The growth in business class demand, which began in December, also continued in January. "Growth is coming from markets outside Finland," says Haglund. Due to changes in network structure, Finnair cut its domestic traffic by 14 per cent from the previous year, which led to an improvement in load factor by a couple of percentage points to 55 per cent. Leisure traffic declined in January by nearly 30 per cent. Load factors, however, were kept at over 93 per cent due to a capacity cut of nearly a third. The amount of cargo carried grew by more than 26 per cent compared with the previous January. Growth is evident particularly in Asian traffic, where the amount of cargo carried grew by more than 40 per cent. January's punctuality figures were burdened by exceptionally demanding winter conditions throughout Europe. Of Finnair's flights, 61 per cent arrived on schedule in January, which was more than 22 percentage points less than in the same period last year. The punctuality of traffic overall fell by nearly 21 percentage points and was slightly over 59 per cent.
