In January –March, the passenger unit revenue* per available seat kilometre fell by 5.0 per cent year-on-year and totalled 5.05 euro cents.

"Passenger unit revenue for the first quarter decreased year-on-year, mainly reflecting weaker performance in leisure and Asian traffic than in the comparison period in 2013. In the first quarter, the passenger unit revenue in Asian traffic was still impacted by the year-on-year depreciation of Japanese Yen,” says Finnair CFO Erno Hildén.

In March, the capacity in Leisure traffic decreased by 27.0 per cent and traffic measured in Revenue Passenger Kilometres decreased by 31.3 per cent year-on-year.
