Lufthansa set new records in the first six months of
2005 with passenger numbers and the capacity utilisation of the
group’s passenger aircraft reaching their highest half-year level in the company’s 50-year history. From January to June 2005, 24.7 million passengers flew with the
group airlines – 0.2% more than in the first half of 2004. Available capacity rose by 2.9%, sales by 4.0%. Accordingly, the passenger load factor improved by 0.8 percentage points to 74.3%.
Lufthansa Cargo also performed well in the first six months of the year. The
group’s logistics services provider transported about 847,100 tonnes of freight and mail,
which represents a year-on-year increase of 0.9%. The cargo load factor dropped 1.9 percentage points to 64.8% due to the additional belly capacity
available on Lufthansa’s passenger aircraft.
The overall load factor of the Lufthansa Group’s passenger and cargo aircraft slipped 0.7 percentage points to 70.1%.
