  • Qantas Airways Limited Abn 16 009 661 901 Preliminary Monthly Traffic and Capacity Statistics April 2016
    QANTAS AIRWAYS LIMITED ABN 16 009 661 901 PRELIMINARY MONTHLY TRAFFIC AND CAPACITY STATISTICS APRIL 2016 Summary of Traffic and Capacity Statistics Month of April 2016 Qantas Group capacity (Available Seat Kilometres) increased by 3.7 per cent and Group demand (Revenue Passenger Kilometres) increased by 6.4 per cent in April, resulting in a Group revenue seat factor of 79.4 per cent which was 2.1 percentage points higher than in the prior corresponding period. Qantas Group Revenue per Available Seat Kilometre (RASK) declined in the month, with weaker yield performance in domestic and international businesses consistent with the operating conditions outlined in the Group’s March traffic statistics including the disconnect in the timing of Easter and school holidays in most Australian states. Group Domestic (comprising Qantas Domestic and Jetstar Domestic) capacity in the month was 0.5 per cent lower, reflecting the first round of Group capacity reductions in response to weaker demand conditions and ongoing rationalisation in resources markets. Group Domestic RASK was lower in April, in line with previous commentary on the disconnect in the timing of Easter and school holidays and demand softness related to the upcoming federal election in Australia. Revenue from resources routes was lower compared to the prior corresponding period. However, due to the action taken to reduce Group domestic capacity in the fourth quarter of financial year 2016, the negative domestic RASK trend was arrested in April, with improved trends through May and into forward bookings for June. Qantas International capacity rose by 5.4 per cent, reflecting new services added to San Francisco, Tokyo, Hong Kong and Singapore earlier in the financial year.
