Air France - KLM group releases July figures

The Air France - KLM group released its July results this week which showed as a whole 8.1 million passengers travelled with the group during July 2018, an increase of 1.5 percent over the same month last year.  The average load factor was  0.1 percent higher than 2017 to 90.1 percent, while the groups capacity increased by 1.4 percent.  The group had hoped to see bigger increases, however, growth was hampered by temporary rostering changes caused by pilot training backlogs following the recent strikes. 

KLM carried over 3 million passengers during the month but following a period of uninterrupted growth, load factor saw a slight drop for the first time in five months to 91.3 percent (-0.3 percent from last year). The decrease is the result of greater capacity in seat kilometres compared to traffic growth in passenger kilometres. The drop in load factor was most visible to North, Central, and South American destinations.

"The growth in traffic figures continued in July. Passenger numbers were well in excess of three million during this busy holiday month. The fact that we were able to welcome so many passengers on board is a great achievement on the part of the KLM staff, certainly in the face of rising summer temperatures." Said Pieter Elbers - KLM President & CEO.
