The number of travelers flying with SAS during November were in line with last year, whereas currency adjusted unit revenues and passenger yield increased with 1.4% and 0.8%, respectively.
SAS’ total traffic capacity increased with 0.4%, with a decrease in scheduled traffic and an increase in charter traffic as an effect of continued seasonal adaptation. Total revenue passenger kilometers (RPK) increased by 1.3%, leading to an improvement in load factor of 0.6 percentage points to 70.5%. Regularity and punctuality remained at strong levels and increased by 0.3 and 0.1 percentage points, respectively, compared to last year.
– I am pleased that our customer offering continues to be reflected in improved passenger yield and unit revenues. Our determined work to reduce climate impact is gaining interest and we are encouraged by an increasing number of passengers for example choosing to add biofuel to their booking. During the month we also launched a new packaging of our award-winning food concept. The renewed design will save over 50 tons of plastic each year and is one of many important steps toward reaching our goal of only using sustainable materials in the customer offering, says Rickard Gustafson, CEO of SAS.
