The Austrian Airlines Group carried more than one million passengers in the month of May 2014, corresponding to a rise of 4.2 percent from the prior-year level. This increase can be particularly attributed to the strong growth of passenger volume on flights to North America. Capacity was increased by 4.1 percent. Revenue passenger kilometers (RPK) were up by 7.9 percent.
As a result, capacity utilization (passenger load factor) improved by 2.8 percentage points from the previous year to 78.2 percent.
In the period January to May 2014, Austrian Airlines carried approximately 4.3 million passengers, corresponding to an increase of 1.6 percent year-on-year. The offering measured in available seat kilometers (ASK) was raised by 3.4 percent. Revenue passenger kilometers (RPK) rose by 5.8 percent. As a consequence, capacity utilization of the flights in the first five months of 2014 was up by 1.8 percentage points to 76.6 percent.
“The increase in the number of passengers flying with Austrian Airlines shows that what we offer on the market is precisely what is in demand“, says Karsten Benz, Chief Commercial Officer of Austrian Airlines. “Particularly business on North American routes still develops favorably. The advance bookings for Newark, which we will add to our route network as of July 2, 2014, have also started off well”.
