Results of Operations - 2013 Compared to 2012
Operating Revenue
Passenger Revenue
Passenger revenue increased $1.2 billion , or 4% , on a 3% PRASM increase and a 3% increase in passenger mile yield. Revenue remained strong
despite lower fuel prices. In addition, the increase in passenger revenue reflects in-flight product enhancements such as the Economy Comfort product
and higher corporate sales.
Our geographic regions performed well compared to the prior year, with the domestic region leading year-over-year unit revenue improvement as a
result of higher passenger mile yield. Unit revenues of the domestic region rose by over 5% with notable improvements in the New York market. New
York unit revenues increased as we continue to see improvements due to our investments in JFK and LaGuardia, as well as many in-flight product
enhancements. Revenues related to our international regions increased 3% year-over-year, with slight unit revenue improvements in both Atlantic and
Latin America regions. Our Pacific region experienced a slight decline in unit revenues primarily due to the Japanese yen devaluation.
