In April, Finnair traffic measured in Revenue Passenger Kilometres rose by 10 per cent as the overall capacity was flat year‐on‐year. Passenger load factor improved by 7.1 percentage points and was 76.4 per cent. In the comparison period Finnair's traffic was impacted by the tsunami in Japan and by the events related to the Arabic spring.
The total traffic figures were impacted by the good development in both Asian and European traffic. In April, Asian traffic capacity measured in Available Seat Kilometres grew by 5.2 per cent year‐on‐year, mainly as a result of the Singapore route opened in May 2011. Asian traffic measured in Revenue Passenger Kilometres increased by 13.6 per cent year‐on‐year. The strongest growth was seen in European traffic, which increased by 14.2 per cent year‐on‐year measured in Revenue Passenger Kilometres.
“We saw positive development in passenger load factors in all scheduled traffic categories in April. In Domestic and European traffic passenger load factors improved by more than 10 percentage points. Likewise, the Asian traffic saw good development from last year, when the traffic was affected by the tsunami in Japan. The load factor improved by close to six percentage points year-on-year,” says Finnair CFO Erno Hildén.
In April, the capacity in leisure traffic decreased by 9.8 per cent with passenger load factor flat year-on-year.
In cargo, traffic measured in available tonne kilometres was flat, whereas revenue tonne kilometres increased by 11.3 per cent year‐on‐year. The load factor in cargo improved by 6.9 percentage points and was 74.3 per cent.
The arrival punctuality was at high level in April. In scheduled traffic, 87 per cent (86.9 per cent in April 2011) of flights arrived on schedule and in all traffic 86.8 per cent (86.5 per cent) arrived on schedule.
