Passenger load factor
In 2006 we surpassed previous passenger records, with our highest ever revenue and
passenger numbers on an average load factor of 79.9%. Passenger demand remained
buoyant throughout the year and strong corporate demand helped to drive up yield
by 1.5% to HK47.0 cents. Yields in economy class suffered, however, due to strong
competition on key long haul and regional flights. Capacity increased by 7.7% with
additional services mounted and new aircraft joining the fleet.
