Porter Airlines reports June statistics

TORONTO, July 5, 2012 /CNW/ – Porter Airlines registered a 62 per cent load factor in June. Passenger numbers, ASMs (Available Seat Miles) and RPMs (Revenue Passenger Miles) all set new records for the month.
Nearly 212,000 passengers travelled in June, 4.2 per cent more than last year.

Figures for the month show 126.5 million ASMs and 78.4 million RPMs. ASMs grew 8.5 per cent from 116.6 million and RPMs increased 4.1 per cent from 75.3 million last year.

“Numbers for June, although slightly less than in 2011, met our expectations, especially considering the fact that a strike at one of our competitors last year brought more last minute business to us than would normally be the case,” said Robert Deluce, president and CEO of Porter Airlines. “Our second quarter and year-to-date numbers made gains, and the outlook for the full year continues to be good.”
