airberlin records higher capacity utilization in September
(firmenpresse) - (DGAP-Media / 07.10.2013 / 08:00)
In September, airberlin confirmed the ongoing trend and was able to
increase the capacity utilization of its flights. For September 2013,
capacity utilization throughout airberlin's flight network reached 87.26
percent, thereby exceeding the figure for the corresponding period of the
previous year. In total, airberlin welcomed more than 3,309,554 passengers
on board in September.
In the months from January to September 2013, Germany's second-largest
airline company was able to increase fleet capacity utilization to the
strong value of 85.60 percent, i.e. by two percentage points in yearly
comparison, and welcomed more than 24.696 million passengers on board. The
available seat kilometers (ASK) totaled 44.204 billion kilometers and the
revenue passenger kilometers (RPK) amounted to 37.840 billion.
In the course of its flight plan optimization, airberlin is concentrating
on increasing flight frequencies on well-established routes and has reduced
the available seat kilometers in September 2013 by five percent in yearly
comparison to 5.607 billion (previous year: 5.901 billion). Due to the
increased capacity utilization, the revenue passenger kilometers only
decreased by 4.7 percent to 4.893 billion (previous year: 5.136 billion).
For 2013, airberlin has changed the way it calculates its capacity
utilization. The capacity utilization calculation is now determined
according to the sector standard, and the revenue passenger kilometers
(RPK) are compared to the available seat kilometers (ASK). For the purpose
of a yearly comparison, the capacity utilization for 2012 was likewise
calculated anew.
