AirFrance KLM January 2011 traffic
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
* Passenger: rise in traffic (+4.8%) and load factor (+1.1 point)
* Cargo: rise in traffic (+2.4%) and stable load factor
January 2010 was disrupted by snowfall, and a two day strike by air traffic
controllers in France, which particularly affected medium-haul, thereby creating
a favourable comparison basis.

1.1 point gain in the load factor to 79.2%. The number of passengers rose 6.7%
to 5.4 million. Nevertheless, unit revenues, although higher than last year, saw
a levelling-off. Elsewhere, the geopolitical situation in a number of countries
(Ivory Coast, Sahelian region, Tunisia and Egypt) is weighing on revenues.
