Photo Icelandair
The Icelandic flag carrier Icelandair saw international passenger numbers increase by 9% during the month of February the latest figures released by the troubled airline reveal.

In total Icelandair carried 208,252 passengers on its international flights, an increase of 9% compared to February last year. The capacity increase was 8% and the load factor was 75.6% compared to 74.3% in February last year. 

The number of passengers on domestic and regional flights decreased by 10% to a little over 19,500, which the airline blames on the axing of a number of flights to cut costs, including services to Belfast, and Aberdeen, as well as several domestic rotations. 

The load factor on domestic and regional flights was 66.0% that's up by 3.4 percentage points comparted to last year. The number of sold block hours in charter flights decreased by 16% between years, due to fewer projects than at the same time last year.  Freight increased by 6%. The number of sold room nights at the Company’s Hotels was up by 20% from last year. The room utilisation was 79.0% compared to 84.9% in February 2018.  The main reason for lower utilisation in our hotels in rural areas.
