  • TRAFFIC and CAPACITY STATISTICS – April 2009
    TRAFFIC AND CAPACITY STATISTICS – April 2009 Summary of the headline figures In April 2009, passenger capacity, measured in Available Seat Kilometres, was 2.4 per cent below April 2008. Traffic, measured in Revenue Passenger Kilometres, rose by 0.9 per cent. This resulted in a passenger load factor increase of 2.6 points versus last year, to 78.1 per cent. Traffic comprised a 17.7 per cent decrease in premium traffic and a 5.2 per cent rise in non-premium traffic. Comparisons between April 2008 and April 2009 are complicated by the timing of Easter, which fell in March in 2008 but was in April this year. The effect in April 2009 is to increase non-premium and reduce premium volumes. Cargo, measured in Cargo Tonne Kilometres, fell by 14.8 per cent. Market conditions Market conditions remain very challenging, with volume under pressure in premium and yield under pressure in all cabins. Yield weakness is driven by both price and fare mix. It is too early to give any indication of the impact of the recent outbreak of swine flu. Strategic Developments British Airways sold its 11 mainline Boeing 757 aircraft for cargo conversion. The 757s will leave the fleet between 2010–2012 and be replaced by Airbus A320 family aircraft. The U.S. Department of Transportation continued to move forward in reviewing British Airways, American Airlines and Iberia’s application for antitrust immunity by issuing a scheduling order. The order sets in motion a period of public comment and a six-month time frame for a decision.
