During the first quarter it operated 12,740 flights or 10% more than last year. The 15-minute flight punctuality indicator for airBaltic during the first three months of 2019 was at 89.9%, meaning that more than 89 out of every 100 airBaltic flights departed at the planned time or with a delay of no more than 15 minutes.
The only negative statistic was load factor, which decreased from 67% in the first quarter of last year to 62% this year.
Martin Gauss, Chief Executive Officer said: “We are satisfied to see a double-digit growth, while modernizing our fleet with the most advanced aircraft in the market. In addition, we have been able to improve our service, offering more convenient connections for affordable prices.”
