TRAFFIC AND CAPACITY STATISTICS - June 2004

Summary of the headline figures

In June 2004, passenger capacity, measured in Available Seat Kilometres, was 3.6 per cent above June 2004 and traffic, measured in Revenue Passenger Kilometres, was higher by 4.2 per cent. This resulted in a passenger load factor up 0.5 points versus last year, to 77.7 per cent. The increase in traffic comprised a 4.9 per cent increase in premium traffic and a 4.1 per cent increase in non-premium traffic. Cargo, measured in Cargo Tonne Kilometres, rose by 12.8 per cent. Overall load factor rose by 0.6 points to 71.2 per cent.

Market conditions

Market conditions are unchanged. Longhaul premium volumes are recovering steadily, while shorthaul premium remain at lower levels. Non-premium volumes are very price-sensitive.

Costs

As a result of Yen depreciation against sterling, there will be a non-cash accounting credit of £24 million in the first quarter financial results.

Strategic Developments

Swiss International Air Lines asked British Airways to release the Swiss carrier from some of the obligations of the commercial pact agreed last year. An amicable agreement was reached. British Airways retains the eight Heathrow daily slots exchanged with Swiss and codesharing between London Heathrow and Geneva will continue for a further three years, subject to agreement of commercial terms. The Swiss Travel Club will not migrate to British Airways' Executive Club and Swiss will not join the oneworld alliance. Other codeshare agreements will end by October 2004.

No agreement was reached in the latest round of EU US talks on a new air treaty between Europe and the United States.

Rod Eddington wrote to the European Transport Commissioner Loyola de Palacio, urging the Commission to oppose any form of 'state aid' to Alitalia which has applied for a 400 million euro bridging loan from the Italian government.

Martin George, was appointed to the newly created position of commercial director for British Airways. His new role will incorporate all of the airline's global sales and marketing activities as well as his current marketing and commercial responsibilities. Robert Boyle, general manager fleet and network planning, has also been promoted and will join the airline's leadership team with the title of director of commercial planning.
