airberlin reaches high capacity utilization in October
(firmenpresse) - (DGAP-Media / 06.11.2013 / 08:00)
In October, airberlin again showed a very high capacity utilization and was
able to welcome more passengers on board per flight. Capacity utilization
over the entire airberlin flight route network amounted to 84.61 percent,
thus slightly exceeding the level reached in the corresponding period of
the previous year (84.49%). In total, airberlin welcomed 3,013,054
passengers on board for the month of October.
In the first ten months of 2013, airberlin, Germany's second-largest
airline company, was able to continuously increase its fleet capacity
utilization by a total of 1.8 percentage points in yearly comparison,
reaching the high level of 85.50 percent, and welcomed more than 27.709
million passengers on board. The available seat kilometers (ASK) amounted
to 49.567 billion kilometers and the revenue passenger kilometers (RPK)
amounted to 42.378 billion kilometers.
Since airberlin is focusing on well-established routes and is increasing
flight frequencies on these routes, the airline company reduced its
available seat kilometers in October 2013 by 3.7 percent in yearly
comparison, i.e. to 5.364 billion kilometers (previous year: 5.569 billion
kilometers). Due to the increase in fleet capacity utilization, the revenue
passenger kilometers only decreased by 3.6 percent, i.e. to 4.538 billion
kilometers (previous year: 4.705 billion kilometers).
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.
