Airlines carry over 106 million passengers in total / Passenger Airline Group still plans low-level growth of 3 per cent in 2012 due to weak economic environment
The airlines that make up the Lufthansa Group carried a
record number of passengers in 2011. A total of 106.3
million passengers chose to fly with Lufthansa, SWISS,
Austrian Airlines, bmi and Germanwings. This is equivalent
to growth of 7.5 per cent compared with the previous year.
The Group increased its capacity by 9.8 per cent overall in
2011, while its revenue seat kilometres rose by 7.0 per
cent. The average passenger load factor for the aircraft
correspondingly fell by two percentage points to 77.2 per
cent.
The trend of decreasing sales that emerged in autumn
continued in the remaining months of the year - Group-wide,
it proved not possible to match the level of sales growth
recorded at the beginning of the year. In the light of this
development and ongoing economic uncertainty, the Passenger
Airline Group plans to achieve low-level growth of 3 per
cent in its available seat kilometres in the full year
2012. This will be realised by using larger aircraft and
introducing the new Europa cabin on Lufthansa Passenger
Airlines' European routes. A total of 65.5 million
passengers flew with Lufthansa-brand planes in 2011 - 11.1
per cent more than in the previous year. Lufthansa expanded
its capacity by 11.8 per cent in the full year, while sales
were up 8.8 per cent. The load factor was 2.2 percentage
points down year on year, at 77.2 per cent. In 2011, SWISS
carried approximately 16.4 million passengers, at Austrian
Airlines passenger numbers came to 11.3 million, around 5.7
million passengers chose to fly with bmi, and Germanwings
had approximately 7.5 million passengers.
Lufthansa Cargo recorded growth of 5 per cent in its
tonne-kilometres transported in 2011 and carried a total of
1.9 million tonnes of freight and mail. Capacity grew by
8.6 per cent in the full year, while sales were up 6.5 per
cent. This prompted the load factor to drop by 1.4
percentage points to 69.5 per cent.
The Lufthansa Group's financial results for the full
year 2011 will be published on 15 March 2012 and will be
available for download at from 8.00 a.m.
