(CAPA) WestJet announced a record Oct-07 load factor of 78.1%, 3.2 percentage points higher than in Oct-06. This was accompanied by a capacity increase of 15.6% and growth (RPMs) of 20.5%.
"Our record load factor indicates we continue to attract new guests and benefit from strong guest loyalty, thanks to our caring and dedicated people. Our ability to increase capacity year over year and still fly record numbers of guests supports our research that once someone tries us they will continue to fly with us. As we enter our fourth quarter, the demand for our new Caribbean and Mexican destinations is exceeding expectations," commented Sean Durfy, WestJet President and CEO.
Sean Durfy continued, "We are in a fortunate place in the Canadian airline industry where the appreciation of the Canadian dollar is helping offset the rise in fuel prices. Our October results include a year-over-year improvement in RASM."
