The 5% reduction in capacity that KLM Air France
recorded in June 2009 was insufficient to offset the drop in

points). As in previous months, unit revenues were weak. The group
carried 6.4 million passengers (-7%).

reduction in capacity (-8.1%). The load factor dropped 2.4 points
to 80.9%.

network was stable (-0.2%) with capacity up by 2.2%. The load
factor was down 1.9 points to 78.0%.
The
Caribbean and Indian Ocean network recorded a traffic decline of
5.8%, below that of capacity (-7.3%), leading to a 1.3
point improvement in load factor to 78.1%.
The
European network saw a 6.8% decline in traffic with capacity down
3.9%. The load factor dropped 2.3 points to 72.8%.
Cargo
