Air France-KLM: "Despite the disruption caused by repeated air traffic control strikes in France, the passenger and cargo activities maintained the positive trend seen over the past few months with a further rise in traffic and load factors and a marked improvement in unit revenues. Unit revenue per available seat kilometer (RASK) excluding currency was up strongly compared with October 2009, with dynamic performances in both economy and premium classes," Source: Company statement, 08-Nov-2010.
