]]>September saw the passenger load factor drop slightly to 89.7% (-0.4%pts). This was due to higher capacity in available seat kilometres (+2.0% ASKs) compared to lower traffic growth in revenue passenger kilometres (+1.5% RPKs).

This slight drop had a number of causes combined with a fall in load factor in Europe. There was robust growth in passenger traffic on North and South American routes, while capacity and traffic to African and Asian destinations decreased.

The load factor for KLM Cargo rose to 66.4% (+1.3%pts), because capacity decreased (-4.3% ATKs) more than traffic (-2.4% RTKs).

At Transavia, while capacity remained more or less the same, traffic grew somewhat, resulting in a higher load factor.

]]>Following a period of uninterrupted growth, load factor saw a slight drop for the first time in five months to 91.3% (-0.3%pts). The decrease is the result of greater capacity in seat kilometres (+1.6% ASKs) compared to traffic growth in passenger kilometres (+1.2% RPKs). The drop in load factor was most visible to North, Central, and South American destinations.

KLM Cargo showed positive results in July. Traffic increased by 2.7% against a drop in capacity of 1.4%. The result was an increase in cargo load factor of 2.5%pts to 65%. Transavia welcomed fewer passengers in July than in the same month the previous year. With decreased traffic and capacity, load factor decreased slightly as a result of the earlier suspension of activities in Munich.
