In June, Finnair carried 55,200 passengers, which is 96.0% less than in the corresponding period of 2019 but 107.2% more than in May 2020.
The overall capacity measured in Available Seat Kilometres (ASK) decreased in June by 96.9% year-on-year. Finnair's traffic measured in Revenue Passenger Kilometres (RPKs) decreased by 98.4%. The Passenger Load Factor (PLF) decreased by 42.4% points to 43.8%. All passenger traffic figures were still heavily impacted by the significant COVID-19 pandemic related capacity reductions, which was visible especially in the Asian and North Atlantic figures as there were no scheduled flights to Asia and only one North Atlantic scheduled flight in June.
The ASK decline in Asian traffic was 100.0%. The North Atlantic capacity decreased by 99.5%. In European traffic, the ASKs were down by 93.1%. The ASKs in domestic traffic decreased by 88.7%.
RPKs decreased in Asian and North Atlantic traffic by 100.0%, in European traffic by 96.7% and in domestic traffic by 89.4%.
The PLF was 8.1% in North Atlantic traffic, 41.9% in European traffic and 67.1% in domestic traffic, whereas there was no PLF figure in Asian traffic due to zero passenger flights in June.
Passenger numbers decreased in Asian and North Atlantic traffic by 100.0%, in European traffic by 95.7% and in domestic traffic by 91.0%.
Available scheduled cargo tonne kilometres decreased by 99.4% year-on-year and revenue scheduled cargo tonne kilometres decreased by 99.4%, both due to the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on scheduled flights. However, cargo related available tonne kilometres decreased by 79.2% and revenue tonne kilometres decreased by 70.2% and they included also the cargo-only flights operated primarily between Asia and Europe. Finnair operated 215 one-way cargo-only flights in June (18.3% less than in May 2020) and the total cargo tonnes were down by 7.3% from May 2020 as the available capacity in the cargo market increased in June. The cargo load factor was still clearly higher than in the corresponding period of 2019.
In June, 96.6% of all Finnair flights arrived on schedule (76.8%).
Traffic statistics for July 2020 will be published on Friday 7 August 2020.
