Scandinavian Airlines System January Traffic Up
February 12, 2008
Scandinavian Airlines System, an owner of several airlines in Europe, has reported that it has carried 2.3 million passengers in January, up 4.3% compared to the same period in 2007.
Scandinavian Airlines has reported that the growth was strongest in airBaltic and Norway. The capacity was increased by 6.9%, which resulted in a lower load factor of 1.3pu.
The Q400 has been replaced by leased aircraft with larger seat capacity, which had a negative impact on the load factor in Denmark and Sweden. The company’s yield for Scandinavian Airlines in December was down 4%. The yield is positively affected by active yield management and positive effects from the new commercial initiatives.
