Icelandair: Number of passengers increased by 7% in January
In January 2024, Icelandair
transported 225 thousand passengers, a 7% increase compared to
January 2023. During the month 31% of passengers were travelling to
Iceland, 20% from Iceland, 41% were via passengers and 8% were
travelling within Iceland. Load factor was 69.4%. On-time
performance was 79.8% and was somewhat impacted by weather in
January.
Sold block hours in charter flights
increased by 16%. Freight measured in Freight Ton Kilometers
decreased by 9% compared to January last year.
Although the seismic activity and
volcanic eruption in the Southwest of Iceland in November had no
effect on Icelandair’s flight schedule, global media coverage of
the events did have a significant negative impact on bookings in
the fourth quarter of 2023 which is a very important sales period
for flights in January. This affected load factor in January. This
negative development has eased during the first weeks of the year.
The via market is strengthening significantly with a higher
proportion of bookings than at the same time last year. The demand
is also strong on the market from Iceland.
