In March 2006,
British Airway's passenger capacity, measured in Available Seat Kilometres, was 2.5% above March 2005. Traffic, measured in
Revenue Passenger Kilometres, was higher by 1.8%. This resulted in a passenger load factor down 0.5 points versus last year, to 75.2%. The increase in traffic comprised a 15% increase in premium traffic and a 0.4% decrease in non-premium traffic. Cargo,
measured in Cargo Tonne Kilometres, rose by 3.5%. Overall load factor fell by 0.2 points to 70.5%.
The timing of Easter this year has benefited premium volumes and reduced non-premium volumes in March. This effect will reverse next month.
For the January to March quarter, ASKs rose by 2.8%, with RPKs rising by 2.9%. This resulted in an increase in passenger load factor
of 0.1 points, to 73.1%. This comprised a 10.1% increase in premium traffic and a 1.6% increase in non-premium traffic. CTKs
rose by 0.9%.
