SAS shares gain on January traffic
Analysis
SAS shares rose 4.3% on Monday as it reported a 5.4% increase in passenger traffic in Jan-2011 and stated yields would rise from Dec-2010 levels (which were down 8.2% year-on-year).
SAS stated, "The market remains unpredictable, particularly yield development, due to overcapacity in certain markets. Due to high load factors, RASK (revenue per available seat kilometre) has been relatively stable."
