During the reported quarter the NIS continued to appreciate vis-à-vis the dollar, resulting in higher Company expenses (in dollar terms). In addition, as of March 31, 2018, the exchange rate was NIS 3.51/USD compared to NIS 3.47/USD at December 31, 2017, that is, the NIS depreciated by 1.4% against the dollar (as at March 31, 2017, the exchange rate was NIS 3.63 compared to NIS 3.85 at December 31, 2016 – the NIS rose by 3.6%). These rates have an impact on the Company's NIS-denominated balance sheet items.

RPK - revenue passenger kilometer - the number of paid passengers multiplied by the airborne distance. ASK - available seat kilometer - the number of seats offered for sale multiplied by the airborne distance. RTK - revenue ton kilometer - which weights in tons the aircraft cargo for payment multiplied by airborne distance. Passenger load factor (passenger occupancy) - passenger-KM traveled, expressed as a percentage of the available seats-km. Weighted flight hours - the weighted value of the airplanes: Boeing 767 = 1.00; Boeing 747 = 2.00; Boeing 777 = 1.6; Boeing 737 = 0.6. These weighting values were determined based on the estimated total expenditure of each aircraft type and are consistently used to calculate the weighted time of flight as an indicator of the volume of aviation activity. The data points to an increase in the passenger-KM (RPK) flown by the Company and in the available Seat- Kilometer (ASK); the occupancy rate rose 0.2% while the average revenue per RPK rose 4.3% year-over- year. On the other hand, the Company's market share recorded a steep decline, due to the sharp increase in passenger traffic in Ben Gurion Airport, which was not accompanied by a corresponding increase in the number of seats offered by the Company, on account of its limited production capacity.
