LAN Airlines Monthly Statistics Report for March 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 March 2011.
During March, system passenger traffic increased 36.5% as capacity rose 28.2%. As a result, the Company’s load factor for the month increased 4.7 points to 77.7%. International passenger traffic accounted for approximately 69% of total passenger traffic. The growth rates in March 2011 figures consider the impact of the earthquake that affected Chile on February 27, 2010. Also, starting from January 2011, these figures include AIRES’ domestic and international operations.
Domestic passenger traffic in Chile, Argentina, Peru, Ecuador and Colombia rose 39.7% as capacity increased 35.7%. As a consequence, the domestic load factor for the month increased 2.1 points to 73.9%.
International passenger traffic grew 35.1%, while capacity increased 24.8%. Accordingly, the international passenger load factor for the month increased 6.0 points to 79.5%. During March, international capacity expansion was driven by an increase in operations on certain regional routes, as well as routes to the United States.
During March, cargo traffic increased 19.5%. 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. Capacity grew 21.6%. As a result, the cargo load factor decreased 1.3 point to 70.0%.
During March, 83.3% 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 4.6 points compared to March 2010.
