SAS trafiktal maj 2011 - vækst

[FlyHi]

Antal passagerare ökade med 13,5%

SAS koncernen transporterade 2,6 miljoner passagerare under maj, en
ökning med 13,5%. SAS hade även tydliga framgångar med ökad trafik på
svenska inrikeslinjer där konkurrensen ökat.

SAS koncernen fortsatte att öka kapaciteten i maj i enlighet med
tidigare planer med 10,2%. Den interkontinentala trafiken ökade något,
framförallt på USA till följd av öppnandet av linjen Oslo-New York som
fortsatte visa en god utveckling. Scandinavian Airlines trafik ökade i
Danmark, Norge och Sverige med särskilt god tillväxt på norsk och svensk
inrikes. På de svenska inrikeslinjerna till/från Göteborg och Malmö
ökade SAS trafik med 4% respektive 19% trots ökad konkurrens.

SAS koncernens totala kabinfaktor minskade med 2,2 procentenheter till
73,4% vilket till stor del förklaras av effekterna från den tidigare
jordbävningen i Japan.

- Det är glädjande att se att trafiktillväxten i stort fortsätter i nivå
med våra förväntningar. Att vi trots kraftigt ökad konkurrens på vissa
inrikeslinjer kan uppvisa tillväxt visar att vi klarar konkurrensen väl
och att kunderna uppskattar SAS erbjudande, säger Rickard Gustafson, SAS
VD och koncernchef.

Enhetsintäkten, RASK, som rapporteras med en månads fördröjning, steg
under april med 6,1%. Utvecklingen för maj förväntas likna utfallet
under april med en något positiv RASK och fortsatt stabil yield.

Hm, 2.600.000 pax for SAS Group i Mai.
Skulle vel da bli rundt 26.252.000 på 12 mnd
Og for den saken skyld så har vel DY tatt minimalt innpå fra april-mail siste 12mnd rullerende (?)

Stabil yield hos SAS og stigende yield hos Norwegian. Får håpe det stiger hos begge fremover, og det er vel ikke umulig.
Hva med LF på langdistanse, er den fremdeles "for høy"?
Ser man på biz-priser på f.eks. orbitz.com, så ligger SAS ofte lavest. Det er jo helt feil når det gjelder priser fra hjemmemarkedet.

En klart signal at den verste priskamp er over. Begge aktörer fokusserer na pa inntekter fremfor a ha störst vekst.Fornunften er tilbake. Bra for de selskaper, men ikke like bra for kunder, spesielt disse som er mest pris-sensitive...

SAS sin yield bør vel stige i omtrent samme takt som DY sin yield for mai (det var april SAS rapporterte nå).

21,6 prosent økning i passasjerer på norsk innenriks er imponerende samtidig som Widerøe har tatt over Vestlink-produksjonen.

Her er hele rapporten:



SAS Group's May 2011 traffic figures
• SAS Group's traffic (RPK) increased by 7% during May and capacity (ASK) increased 10.2% vs same period.
• The passenger load factor decreased by 2.2 p.u. to 73.4%.
• SAS Group carried 2.6 million passengers in May, up 13.5%.

Group market trends, RASK and yield development
During April 2011, currency adjusted RASK was up 6.1% and yield was down 0.7%, due to weak comparable figures. The development is in line with guidance. For May 2011, passenger yield and RASK (change vs last year) are expected to be similar to April with a stable yield and slightly positive RASK – RASK will be positively affected by cargo and other traffic related revenues but negatively affected by the weaker load factor.
The market remains unpredictable, particularly RASK development due to overcapacity in certain markets and high jet fuel prices. Scandinavian Airlines is continuously improving its customer offering and improvements in customer satisfaction have been achieved. The implementation of the cost saving program is on track.
