KLM Royal Dutch Airlines welcomes slightly more passengers in April (compared to 2018)

Share

KLM’s traffic figures for the month of April reflect a slight increase. KLM welcomed 1.8% more passengers on board in April compared to the same month last year.

Passenger load factor remained largely stable in comparison with the same month last year against a marginal traffic increase of 1.2% (expressed in revenue passenger kilometres or RPKs), coupled with marginally increased capacity of 1.2% (expressed in available seat kilometres or ASKs). Passenger growth was especially visible on routes to our destinations in Asia.

On the April figures, KLM president and CEO Pieter Elbers said: “Following a decline in traffic figures during the first quarter, we saw an increase in April, but not as much as we would have liked.”

Working for 25 years in the aviation industry, I changed my career and became a firefighter/EMT in 2021. I like to spend my free time with my two sons, girlfriend, family and friends. I love to travel, wine and dine and support my favourite football squad KV Mechelen. Once an Ironman 70.3 finisher and dreaming of completing a full distance.
