LAN Airlines Monthly Statistics Report for February 2011
SANTIAGO, Chile--(BUSINESS WIRE)--LAN Airlines S.A. and its subsidiaries, (“LAN” or “the Company”) (NYSE: LFL / IPSA: LAN), one of the leading airlines in Latin America, today reported its preliminary monthly traffic statistics and punctuality indicators for February 2011.
During February, system passenger traffic increased 15.6% as capacity rose 15.2%. As a result, the Company’s load factor for the month increased 0.2 points to 82.3%. International passenger traffic accounted for approximately 67% of total passenger traffic. Starting from January 2011, these figures include AIRES’ domestic and international operations.
Domestic passenger traffic in Chile, Argentina, Peru, Ecuador and Colombia rose 23.3% as capacity increased 28.2%. As a consequence, the domestic load factor for the month decreased 3.2 points to 79.9%.
International passenger traffic grew 12.1%, while capacity increased 9.4%. Accordingly, the international passenger load factor for the month increased 2.0 points to 83.5%. During February, international capacity expansion was mainly driven by an increase in operations on certain regional routes, as well as routes to the United States.
During February, cargo traffic increased 16.2%. This increase was mainly due to the growth of the import markets to Latin America, driven by Brazil, and to the arrival of three new B767 freighters between November 2010 and January 2011. In addition, in June 2010 LAN Cargo launched domestic cargo operations in Brazil to Recife and Fortaleza through its affiliate ABSA. In-line with higher demand, capacity grew 18.2%. As a result, the cargo load factor decreased 1.2 point to 67.2%.
During February, 79.6% 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 a decrease of 4.3 points compared to February 2010.
