A significant capacity consolidation towards the end of the year once again enabled airberlin to increase capacity utilization (RPK/ASK) by 0.9 percentage points to 79.9 percent in comparison with the corresponding month of the previous year.
Stefan Pichler, CEO of airberlin, said: “The favourable capacity utilization figures of the past months are the result of the ongoing reorientation of airberlin. Our measures are taking effect. A main factor contributing to the successful increase of the capacity utilization in the second half of 2015 lies in the implementation of a new revenue management system and measures for improving the yields from ticket sales and total sales.”
