– Traffic on the Caribbean and Indian Ocean network was down by 3.3% with a 5.2% reduction in capacity, giving a load factor up by 1.6 points to 80.6%.
– On the European network, the decline in capacity (-2.9%) was in line with that of demand (-2.7%). The load factor was therefore slightly up at 70.3% (+0.2pts).
