TAM: International market recorded a load factor of 81.9%

 Brazilian National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC) disclosed today the operational data for the month of February 2012. 


Domestic market 

In the domestic market in February, we had an increase in demand (in RPK) of 11.7%, combined with an increase of 8.7% in the supply (in ASKs) compared with February 2011, which led to an increase of the load factor to 64.6%. Our market share in the domestic market was 39.1% this month. 

These figures reflect the increase in the amount of leisure passengers and the higher number of passengers flying with award ticket, influenced by the carnival that took place in February this year, while in 2011 occurred in March. The combination of the mix of passengers with a strong comparison base reflected a slightly lower yield compared with the same month of 2011.

In the international market, compared to the same month of 2011, we saw a rise of 11.7% in demand with a 5.3% increase in supply, resulting in a load factor of 81.9%, a record for the month. Our market share among Brazilian carriers in February was 87.5%. 

The international market, recorded an increase in yield in dollars compared to the same month last year. We observe that the international market continues heated, registering several records in the load factor.
