Vueling, 91% di crescita a settembre

[dreamliner]

October 9, 2009
Spanish no-frills airline Vueling on Friday posted a 91 percent jump in passenger traffic to 955,708 in September from a year ago, helped by its merger with Iberia's low-cost subsidiary Clickair in July.

Vueling's load factor rose 6.6 percentage points to 76.9 percent in September.

A doubling of the airline's Madrid-Barcelona frequency to 10 flights per day in September also helped fuel the strong numbers, a Vueling spokesman said, as the company captured business clients who are seeking cheaper travel.

"We're increasing the Madrid-Barcelona flights to 12 a day this month," the spokesman said.

Low-cost European rivals easyJet and Ryanair also recorded rises in passenger numbers in September, boosting hopes that demand for budget air travel was recovering from the slump caused by the global recession.

Domestic rival Iberia is due to publish its September traffic figures on October 15.

Domestic rival Iberia???
Ormai sono praticamente una cosa sola

Esatto, Iberia e la sua Mini-Iberia... :morto:

Precedente riduzione delle attività e fusione con Clickair hanno sicuramente dato una bella spinta a questo 91%

Clickair merger boosts Vueling's bottom line
Wednesday October 28, 2009

Vueling Airlines, which merged with Clickair in July (ATWOnline, July 13), posted a third-quarter operating profit of €68.1 million ($102.1 million) compared to EBIT of €24.7 in the year-ago period when it was an independent carrier. Revenue rose 68.6% year-over-year to €259.2 million and operating expenses increased 48.2% to €191.1 million. Unit revenue fell by just 1.3% to 6.97 euro cents as fuel surcharges rose, while CASK sank 13.2% to 5.14 euro cents thanks to dropping oil prices and "cautious" fuel hedges. Third-quarter capacity grew 70.8% to 3.72 billion ASKs as Vueling's fleet rose from 20 to 35 A320s. Traffic increased 75.5% to 2.97 billion RPKs and load factor gained 2.1 points to 80%. The LCC served 47 airports as of Sept. 30, 25 more than on the year-ago date. Operating profit for the nine months to Sept. 30 was €71.9 million compared to a loss of €18.7 million in the year-ago period. The Barcelona-based carrier said "no major changes in the demand situation are foreseen" for the fourth quarter. It expects 2010 results to be "even better" than 2009's.
