Air Berlin improves revenue in August
Over the period from Jan-08 to Aug-08, Air Berlin welcomed 19,252,837 passengers on board, i.e. 3.9% more than in the corresponding period of the previous year (2007: 18,535,693 passengers).

 

Fleet capacity utilisation for the first eight months of the year rose from 76.7 to 78.8%, i.e. an increase of 2.1 percentage points.

For the month of Aug-08, Air Berlin was able to increase revenue per available seat kilometre ("Yield per ASK") by 14.4% to EUR5.55 cents (08/2007: 4.85 Eurocents). Due to the targeted capacity reduction by 60,000 seats, the number of passengers decreased by 2.4 percent to 2,849,783 (08/2007: 2,920,662). Fleet capacity utilization decreased by 0.6 percentage points to 82.9% (08/2007: 83.5 percent), primarily due to our growing business travel segment experiencing holiday-related softness for the month of August.
