Group and Company RPKs increased by 9.7% and 7.9% year-on-year, respectively. ASKs rose by 6.0% year-on-year for Aeroflot Group and by 5.8% for Aeroflot airline.
On domestic routes, Group passengers carried and RPKs grew by 3.9% and 6.4% year-on-year, respectively. ASKs remained flat year-on-year. Company passengers carried and RPKs on domestic routes were up 6.3% and 3.9% year-on-year, respectively. Company ASKs decreased by 2.1%.
On international routes, Group passengers carried rose 8.5% year-on-year while Group RPKs were up 12.7% year-on-year. ASKs for the period increased 11.5% year-on-year. Passengers carried on Aeroflot airline international flights increased 6.6%, RPKs increased by 10.5% and ASKs rose 10.7%. International traffic increased despite the suspension of flights to destinations in Ukraine and Egypt and the suspension of charter service to Turkey. International traffic growth was supported by a decline in competition as several foreign carriers reduced flight frequencies to Russia, Aeroflot airline’s higher international transit traffic through its Sheremetyevo hub and Transaero’s exit from the market, which triggered a reallocation of domestic and international routes amongst market players.
As a result of these factors, the passenger load factor increased by 2.8 p.p. year-on-year to 83.9% for the Group and by 1.7 p.p. year-on-year to 84.2% for the Company.
