Total company passengers grew 22.4% due to strong load factors at both easyJet and GB Airways. easyJet load factors were 1.4 percentage points ahead of last year, largely due to cancellations in France caused by Air Traffic Control industrial action in the last two weeks of the month. We are pleased that GB Airways load factors, up 7.9 percentage points in the month, remain strong during the wind down of the BA franchise. 1. Represents easyJet including GB Airways routes, the prior comparative does not include GB Airways routes. From the April 2008 traffic statistics which will be announced May 2008 and onwards GB Airways will no longer be reported separately. 2. For comparative purposes the prior figure for GB Airways is shown 3. Represents the number of earned seats flown. Earned seats include seats that are flown whether or not the passenger turns up because easyJet is a no-refund airline, and once a flight has departed a no-show customer is generally not entitled to change flights or seek a refund. Earned seats also include seats provided for promotional purposes and to staff for business travel. 4. Represents the number of passengers as a proportion of the number of seats available for passengers. No weighting of the load factor is carried out to recognise the effect of varying flight (or 'stage') lengths.
