During August, cargo traffic rose 9.9% as capacity increased 11.0%. As a consequence, the cargo load factor decreased 0.7 points to 67.8%. Traffic and capacity grew due to the arrival of three new Boeing 767F freighters between November 2010 and January 2011. These aircraft have been assigned to boost growth in the Latin American, United States West Coast and Mexican markets.
During August, 86.2% of the Company’s total flights left on time based on a fifteen-minute standard (all departures leaving within fifteen minutes of the scheduled departure time are considered as “on-time”). This represented an increase of 0.6 points compared to August 2010.
