Airports' & Airlines' Operational Statistics

Recommended Posts

If these numbers maintain for the next 3 quarters, KUL will end the year with 42mil pax!

But the numbers also confirm that my decision of avoiding the current LCCT at all cost is the right one

I hate the LCCT.

Passenger numbers going through the KLIA should continue to increase significantly with MH increasing flights and now with the arrival of new airlines like AF and TK too.

Does Malindo use KLIA or LCCT?

Airasia Q1 2013 Preliminary Operating Statistics

 

AirAsia Berhad (“AirAsia” or “the company”) is pleased to announce the operating statistics for the 1st Quarter 2013 (“1Q13”).


In 1Q13, the Group* recorded a strong load factor of 79% . Note that for this quarter, it is the first time that the Group is disclosing and incorporating PAA’s and AAJ’s operating figures into the overall numbers. The total number of passengers increased by 19% to approximately 9.8 million which is in line with 21% increase in capacity. Year-on-year, AirAsia Group took in 22 additional aircraft, which brings its total fleet at the end of March 2013 to 122 aircraft.


Malaysia AirAsia’s (“MAA”) load factor remained resilient at 79% in 1Q13, despite taking on 2 additional aircraft this quarter. This brought up the total number of aircraft operated by MAA at the end of the period to 66, an additional 9 aircraft as compared to the same period last year. MAA took advantage of the strong season in January and February, but March was slower contributed to the slight impact of the Lahad Datu incident in Sabah and the termination of Kuala Lumpur – Colombo route in February. Total passengers carried were approximately 5.2 million, a strong 7% increase year-on-year. Capacity increased by 9% year-on-year to cater to the additional frequencies especially in the domestic front and few Indonesian routes.


Thai AirAsia (“TAA”) again recorded a commendable load factor of 87% in 1Q13. Approximately 2.6 million passengers were carried, which was 20% increase as compared to the same period last year, and in line with the increase in capacity. The increase was due to the increase in frequencies in domestic destinations such as Chiang Mai, Hat Yai, Krabi and Nakhon Si Thammarat to support the increasing travel demand during this high season. This quarter, TAA added 1 additional aircraft which brings its total number of aircraft up to 28.


Indonesia AirAsia’s (“IAA”) posted a high load factor 75% in 1Q13, mainly due to the new capacity that was added, which was up 40% from the first quarter last year. The additional capacity is due to the introduction of 5 new routes which were Makassar - Manado, Makassar - Surabaya, Makassar – Denpasar, Makassar - Kuala Lumpur, and Semarang - Singapore. Total passengers carried grew 35% to approximately 1.7 million due to the new routes that were introduced during the period. At the end of March, IAA has a total fleet of 22 aircraft.


Philippines’ AirAsia (“PAA”) recorded a load factor of 76% despite only starting its operations in March last year. Total passengers carried were around 0.144 million in this quarter, and at the end of the period, PAA has a total of 2 aircraft in operations.


AirAsia Japan’s (“AAJ”) load factor was at 70% this quarter and it carried a total number of approximately 0.182 million passengers. AAJ just recently introduced its second hub in Nagoya, and introduced one new route this quarter which is Nagoya - Fukuoka. Total fleet since it started operating in August 2012 is 4 aircraft.


*Group refers to MAA, TAA, IAA, PAA & AAJ

I suppose the load factor figures for 2Q should look quite good thanks in no small part to the Banglas.

Are you referring to the election again ? A "friend" of BN did charter a few MAS and Air Asia planes to bring voters from Peninsular Malaysia to East Malaysia. However, as far as I am concerned, those are all local people (Malay, Chinese, Bumi Sabah/Sarawak), and probably some Filipino/Indonesian who got their IC through Project IC. And the B747 I saw at KKIA last Friday evening probably flew back empty to KL as there was not a single passenger at the boarding lounge before it departed.

Singapore April air traffic flat, cargo down in sign of Asia slowdown

 

May 27 (Reuters) - Passenger movements at Singapore's Changi Airport, the world's seventh busiest for international travellers, rose just 0.8 percent in April from a year ago in a sign that the boom in Asian air travel is losing steam.
Changi said on Monday it handled 4.24 million passengers last month even as the number of flights passing through the Southeast Asian city-state increased by 4.3 percent from a year ago. The 0.8 percent rise was the smallest since August 2009.
For the first four months of 2013, Changi handled 17.3 million passengers, a rise of 4.8 percent over the same period last year.
"After three years of double-digit increases from 2010 to 2012, traffic growth at Changi Airport has eased in recent months and continued downside risks are expected," the Singapore airport operator said in a statement.
Passenger traffic to Northeast Asia, Southeast Asia and the Middle East grew in April from a year ago, while traffic to and from Africa and Europe fell, Changi added.
Changi, the base for several carriers including Singapore Airlines, Tiger Airways and Qantas unit JetStar Asia, said the slower rise in April passenger traffic was partly due to the Good Friday holiday falling in March this year.
As for air cargo, Changi said it moved 1.8 percent less cargo in April from a year ago.
Changi was the world's eighth busiest airport for international freight based on data for the 12 months to January 2013, according to Airports Council International, an industry grouping, behind Asian rivals in Hong Kong, Incheon, Shanghai and Tokyo.
For international passengers, Hong Kong, at number four, is the only Asian city ranked above Singapore, which handled just under 50 million people in the 12 months to January. (Reporting by Kevin Lim; Editing by Kim Coghill)

Passenger traffic at Singapore Changi Airport increased 6.1% in June 2013


SINGAPORE, 23 July 2013 – Passenger traffic at Singapore Changi Airport increased 6.1% in June 2013, with 4.67 million passengers passing through the airport. This marks the highest number of passenger movements Changi has handled in a month this year. In terms of flight movements, a total of 28,300 aircraft landings and take-offs were recorded, a growth of 6.1% year-on-year.


Air traffic to and from Southeast Asia, Northeast Asia, South Asia and the Middle East grew. The haze situation in Singapore during the month had no discernable impact on passenger and aircraft movements.


For the first six months of 2013, Changi Airport managed 26.2 million passengers, an increase of 5.0% compared to the corresponding period in 2012. Aircraft movements rose in tandem by 4.6% to 166,800. Yangon (+27%), Taipei (+19%) and Bangkok (+18%) registered the strongest growth, among cities with at least a quarter of a million passengers during the period.


On the cargo front, 150,500 tonnes of airfreight were processed at Changi Airport in June 2013, 1.8% lower than a year before. For the half-year, total cargo volume dipped 2.3% to 877,700 tonnes compared to the same period last year.


As at 1 July 2013, more than 100 airlines operate at Changi Airport, connecting Singapore to 250 cities in some 60 countries and territories worldwide. With more than 6,600 weekly scheduled flights, an aircraft takes off or lands at Changi roughly once every 100 seconds.

SQ FIRST QUARTER NET PROFIT UP 56% ON HIGHER NON-OPERATING ITEMS


GROUP FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

First Quarter 2013-14


The Group earned a net profit of $122 million (+$44 million, or +56%) in the first quarter of the 2013-14 financial year.


The improvement was mainly due to gains from the sale of aircraft and exceptional items, including a net gain of $336 million from the sale of the Company’s stake in Virgin Atlantic Limited to Delta Air Lines, Inc. However a restructuring impairment cost of $293 million was booked on four surplus SIA Cargo freighter aircraft that have been removed from the operating fleet and marked for sale.


Group revenue increased $63 million (+1.7%) to $3,840 million, mainly due to $75 million recognised during the quarter from settlement pertaining to changes in aircraft delivery slots [Note 2]. Passenger revenue excluding the settlement improved marginally over the same quarter last year on the back of 1.8% growth in passenger carriage, partially offset by weaker yields. Intense competition and unfavourable foreign xchange movements for revenue-generating currencies against the Singapore dollar pushed yields down by 2.6%. Cargo revenue was affected by lower loads (-5.3%) and yields (-5.5%) with overcapacity in the market as well as the weak global economic situation.

KLIA handled 22,294,500 passengers from 1 January until 30 June 2013, which represent an astouding growth of 15.52% from the same in the previous corresponding period. That growth rate is expected to put KLIA as amongst the world's best along with IST and DXB.

 

MAHB1H2013_zpscad8668a.png

 

The portion of KLIA that grew the most is the domestic passengers at the MTB, which recorded a growth of 28.18%. This is of course, a direct correlation with the traffic brought in by Malindo.

 

The portion that grew the least is the domestic passengers at the LCCT, which everyone knows due to space constraint.

Wow! KLIA could end up with 45 million passengers in 2013!

Increase in international traffic through the MTB is fantastic. Correlates with MH's numbers for their international passenger numbers.

I think KLIA is definitely getting busier and busier. This recent year, captain seems to announce to passengers that due to traffic congestion at KLIA, flights would be delayed to land or take off. When I checked on the flight radar, I do notice many flights turning several rounds before they could make their approach for landing.

 

I think with KLIA 2's new runway, it should ease some traffic congestion.

Agreed.. My parents' flight from ICN 2 days ago had to hold before they lined up to land.. Noticed it from flightradar24 :)

Many airports around the world survive with two runways, such as LHR for example yet their traffic is almost double that off KUL. Perhaps if MAB could manage and utilise their runways and traffic better, the que may not be too long and we will see dual runway usage for landings.

Well using the same runway for both take-offs and landings will increase its utilisation. However, it requires precision spacing of the departing and arriving flights.
