Aeromexico Reports April 2021 Traffic Results
MEXICO CITY, May 7, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Grupo Aeromexico S.A.B. de C.V. ("Aeromexico") (BMV: AEROMEX) today reported April 2021 operational results. The COVID-19 pandemic led to a historic drop in passenger demand and operations since the third week of March 2020, hence Aeromexico will compare traffic results versus 2019.
- Grupo Aeromexico transported 1 million 204 thousand passengers in April 2021, an increase of 3.1% versus March 2021. Passengers carried were at 71.4% of April 2019 levels - domestic at 89.4% and international at 40.7%.
- Aeromexico's capacity, measured in Available Seat Kilometers (ASKs) increased by 3.2% compared to March 2021 and was at 57.5% of April 2019. Domestic capacity, neared full recovery, reaching 97.4% of April 2019's level. International ASK recovery reached 42.2% in April 2021 versus April 2019.
- Demand measured in Revenue Passenger Kilometers (RPKs) increased by 0.9% compared to March 2021 and was at 49.7% of April 2019. April results reflect a strong recovery in domestic demand. International demand, while gradually improving in certain regions, continues to trail domestic driven by government restrictions on entry and/or exit in many countries to which Aeromexico operates.
- Aeromexico's April load factor was 75.1%, a decrease of 0.2 p.p. versus March 2021 and a 7.1 p.p. decrease versus April 2019. Domestic load factor was 81.9%, a decrease of 0.6 p.p. versus April 2019.
- During May 2021, Aeromexico plans to increase frequencies to Ecuador from Mexico City and will be operating 9 weekly flights.
