AirFrance KLM February 2011 traffic
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
* Passenger: rise in traffic (+4.9%) and stable load factor
* Cargo: decline in traffic (-3.1%) and load factor (-3.2 points)
The month of February 2010 was impacted by adverse weather conditions and by
four days of strike by French air traffic controllers, which affected medium-
haul in particular, creating a favorable comparison basis.
Passenger business
Traffic rose 4.9% for capacity up by 5.1%, leading to an almost stable load
factor of 77.6% (-0.1 point). The number of passengers rose 5.7% to 5.1
millions. The unfavorable geopolitical context continued to affect the
"Africa/Middle East" region (Egypt, Ivory Coast, Sahel region, to which Libya
must now be added) and the "Europe/North Africa" region (Tunisia). Unit revenue
per available seat kilometer (RASK) excluding currency was stable compared with
February 2010.
* On the Americas network, traffic and capacity rose by 2.8% and 5.1%
respectively. The load factor declined by 1.7 points to 78.3%.
* The Asia network was affected by the Chinese New Year celebrations.
Nevertheless, activity remained dynamic with traffic up 6.3%. With capacity
up 8.1%, the load factor declined by 1.5 points to 84.6%.
* The Africa and Middle East network recorded a rise in traffic of 1.4% for
capacity up 2.5%. As a result, the load factor declined by 0.8 points to
74.6%.
* The Caribbean and Indian Ocean network remained robust with traffic up 6.0%
for capacity up by 4.0%. The load factor therefore gained 1.6 points to
85.6%.
* On the medium-haul network, traffic was up by 8.8% for capacity up by 4.3%.
The load factor rose by 2.8 points to 66.4%.
Cargo business
The Chinese New Year had a negative effect on traffic due to the closure of
factories in Asia and the subsequent progressive recovery of associated
activity. Traffic therefore declined by 3.1% for capacity up by 1.5%. The load
factor stood at 67.6% (-3.2 points). Unit revenue per available ton kilometer
(RATK) rose in comparison with February 2010.
