Iberia: "Unit revenue per available seat kilometre (ASK) continued to improve on the previous year, despite the average stage length rose by 10.1%. This improvement was due to the significant increase in the load factor and yields in long haul flights. Business Plus passengers continued to improve, leading to a rise in yields."
