Bene anche LH in gennaio

[SQpps]

Lufthansa Passenger Airlines welcomed nearly 3.9 million passengers on board in January, an increase of 6.3 per cent, allowing last year's positive development to continue into January 2007. Capacity was expanded by 5.0 per cent and sales went up by 7.4 per cent. The passenger load factor also increased by 1.7 percentage points to 73.6 per cent.


This positive trend was visible in all traffic regions. In Europe 6.2 per cent more travellers were carried. Thanks to productivity increases, capacity in the existing fleet was expanded by 9.8 per cent and with 10.9 per cent fully sold in the market. This resulted in a rise of the load factor by 0.6 percentage points to 59.7 per cent. The capacity increase of 2.8 per cent in the Americas traffic region was matched by 5.6 per cent higher demand. Passenger numbers were up by 6.1 per cent and the passenger load factor by a clear 2.0 percentage points to 79.8 per cent.


Leading the figures for passenger growth was the Asia/Pacific traffic region with an increase of 8.3 per cent. The modest rise in capacity of 2.7 per cent was comfortably exceeded by sales growth of 7.1 per cent, resulting in an improved passenger load factor of 81.3 per cent (+3.3 PP). In the Middle East/Africa traffic region passenger numbers went up by 5.6 per cent. Available capacity rose by 6.1 per cent and was offset by a 7.9 per cent increase in demand. The passenger load factor went up accordingly, by 1.2 percentage points to 73.3 per cent.

Sono ottimi risultati.
Mi chiedo come procede l'integrazione di Swiss nel gruppo.
L'Italia e' per LH il secondo mercato. Se guardate la route map di LH noterete che serve piu' destinazioni in Italia che non in Germania (sono escluse le rotte Air One).
Ciao
