Capacity declined by 9.0 per cent, resulting in a >load factor of 73.0 per cent, compared to 67.1 per cent in January 2001; an >improvement of 5.9 percentage points. > The system load factor of 73% was an all-time high for the month of >January. "It is encouraging to note that January traffic on transborder routes >to the US virtually recovered, down only 0.5% from 2001," said Rob Peterson, >Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "Demand on the Pacific >routes, particularly Japan, and to a lesser extent on the transatlantic, >continues to show weakness. Yields are likely to remain under some pressure, >as the recovery in traffic has been centered in the economy class and not in >the premium fare categories," he said. > > << > _________________________________________________________________________ > AIR CANADA MAINLINE > _________________________________________________________________________ > JANUARY YEAR-TO-DATE > 2002 2001 Change 2002 2001 Change > _________________________________________________________________________ > Traffic (RPMs > millions) 3,241 3,272 -0.9% 3,241 3,272 -0.9% > _________________________________________________________________________ > Capacity (ASMs > millions) 4,437 4,876 -9.0% 4,437 4,876 -9.0% > _________________________________________________________________________ > Load Factor 73.0% 67.1% +5.9 pts 73.0% 67.1% +5.9 pts > _________________________________________________________________________ > Canada RPMs 996 954 +4.4% 996 954 +4.4% > _________________________________________________________________________ > ASMs 1,337 1,412 -5.3% 1,337 1,412 -5.3% > _________________________________________________________________________ > Load Factor 74.5% 67.6% +6.9 pts 74.5% 67.6% +6.9 pts > _________________________________________________________________________ > International > + > Charter RPMs 2,245 2,318 -3.1% 2,245 2,318 -3.1% > _________________________________________________________________________ > ASMs 3,100 3,464 -10.5% 3,100 3,464 -10.5% > _________________________________________________________________________ > Load Factor 72.4% 66.9% +5.5 pts 72.4% 66.9% +5.5 pts > _________________________________________________________________________ > >> > > The owner of Roger's Trinbago Site: Roj (Roger James) *************************************************** Trinbago site: http://www.tntisland.com ICQ: ICQ # 15836110 ICQ Pager: mailto:15836110@pager.icq.com escape email #!1 mailto:ejames@escape.ca yahoo email #2: mailto:triniroj@yahoo.com Yahoo Pager: triniroj Caribbean Brass & Soca Connection Group on Yahoo: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/caribsocabrass Caribbean Brass & Soca Connection Club Website http://www.tntisland.com/caribbeansocabrassconnection/ ******************************************************* Steel Expressions Orch http://www.escape.ca/~ejames/se/ email #1: mailto:steelexpressions@yahoo.com email #2: mailto:steelexpressions@home.com ******************************************************* The Trinbago Site of the Week: (Revellers Mas Band) http://www.revellers.com/ (Trini Revellers Mas Band) courtesy of Roj Trinbago Website & TnT Web Directory Roj's Trinbago Website: http://www.tntisland.com TnT Web Directory: http://195.224.187.36/ *********************************************************
