Air Canada reports September traffic

Wednesday 18/10/2017 - Source: E-Travel Blackboard


Air Canada reported a consolidated load factor of 78.7 per cent in September 2017. The mainline carrier flew 3.0 per cent more revenue passenger miles (RPMs) in September 2017 than in September 2016, according to preliminary traffic figures. Capacity increased by 3.7 per cent, resulting in a load factor of 79.1 per cent, compared to 79.6 per cent in September 2016; a decrease of 0.5 percentage points.

Jazz, from which Air Canada purchases regional capacity, flew 6.3 per cent more RPMs in September 2017 than in September 2016, according to preliminary traffic figures. Capacity increased by 3.6 per cent, resulting in a load factor of 73.5 per cent, compared to 71.6 per cent in September 2016; an increase of 1.9 percentage points.

Year over year, system traffic on a consolidated basis for Air Canada and Jazz rose 3.3 per cent on a capacity increase of 3.7 per cent. This resulted in a load factor of 78.7 per cent versus 78.9 per cent in September 2016.

"In September, Air Canada and Jazz together reported continued growth in traffic, resulting in a combined load factor of 78.7 per cent," said Montie Brewer, President and Chief Executive Officer. "These solid results year over year underscore effective capacity management as we continue to grow and renew our fleet with new Boeing 777 and Embraer aircraft. I am particularly proud of our employees who met targets for both On-time Performance and Customer Satisfaction during this busy travel month as their hard work continues to earn the loyalty of our customers."

NOTE: Beginning in May 2017, Air Canada has adjusted the way it reports its monthly traffic results. Tier 3 flying is now included in mainline results along with Jetz. Charter flying is apportioned among the respective market segments. The September 2016 and year-to-date traffic numbers have been adjusted to reflect these changes for year-over-year comparisons.
