Air France-KLM: "In January 2011 passenger traffic rose 4.8% with capacity up 3.3%, leading to a 1.1 point gain in the load factor to 79.2%. The number of passengers rose 6.7% to 5.4 million. Nevertheless, unit revenues, although higher than last year, saw a levelling-off. Elsewhere, the geopolitical situation in a number of countries (Ivory Coast, Sahelian region, Tunisia and Egypt) is weighing on revenues," Source: Company statement, 09-Feb-2011.
