During the financial year, travel demand was affected by the ongoing economic uncertainties in the Eurozone and the United
States, as well as natural disasters such as the Japan earthquake and tsunami and the floods in Thailand. Passenger carriage
growth of 3.6 per cent could not keep up with the capacity expansion of 5.0 per cent. As a result, passenger load factor of 77.4
per cent was 1.1 percentage points lower year-on-year.
Passenger yield was marginally lower from promotional activities necessitated by intense competition amongst airlines and
efforts to stimulate travel demand.
