Usairways Reports May Traffic

The load factor improvement is impressive, especially coming on nearly 5% more capacity. The downside is that it was done at lower fares and/or greater stage lengths; domestic capacity actually shrank while international capacity increased dramatically. RASM was down 3-4%, in part due to trip length increasing nearly 10%. Even so, the company ought to see total revenue up by a few points versus last year.
 
I thought April's results were great; these were merely good.

As ITRADE said, the increase in Express LF (due largely to the RJs) was very impressive. The decrease in PRASM is to be expected with the large increase in stage length, but I would have hoped for a slightly better number there.

And once again, great job operationally, with 99.3% of scheduled departures completed. :up:
