TRAFFIC FIGURES JUNE 2013 NORWEGIAN AIR SHUTTLE ASA
TRAFFIC DEVELOPMENT
The total number of passengers flown in June 2013 was 1 911 841 compared to 1 583 735 last year, an increase of 328 106 passengers (21 %).
Compared to the same period last year:
Total passenger traffic (RPK) increased by 35 % Total capacity (ASK) increased by 31 %
The load factor was 79.6 %, up 2.7 p.p.
The increase in passenger traffic, production and passengers is related to the Group’s expansion in established markets and to the introduction of new routes from July 2012 to June 2013, as well as adjustments to production capacity.
The production increase was driven by the establishment of new European short-haul bases and long-haul operations to North America and Southeast Asia. The new long and short-haul routes contributed positively to the load factor.
A third party industrial action in Norway last year had a negative effect on the comparable load factor for June.
