LATAM Airlines February 2025 Traffic Improves Year Over Year
Read MoreHide Full Article
LATAM Airlines Group (LTM - Free Report) reported a year-over-year increase in revenue passenger-kilometers (RPK: a measure of air traffic) for February 2025.
LATAM Airlines reported a 4.4% year-over-year increase in consolidated capacity, measured in available seat kilometers (ASK). This growth was mainly driven by a 9.1% increase in the company’s international operations. LTM’s revenue passenger kilometers increased 3.1% year over year. Although traffic improved on a year-over-year basis, it failed to outpace capacity expansion. As a result, the load factor (percentage of seats filled by passengers) fell to 83.3% from 84.4% in February 2024.
During the month, LATAM Airlines transported more than 6.5 million passengers, an increase of 1.8% year over year.
Apart from LTM, other airline companies that have reported traffic numbers recently are Ryanair Holdings (RYAAY - Free Report) and Allegiant Travel Company (ALGT - Free Report) .
European carrier, Ryanair, reported solid traffic numbers for February 2025, driven by upbeat air-travel demand.
The number of passengers transported on Ryanair flights was 12.6 million in February 2025, reflecting a 14% year-over-year increase. RYAAY’s traffic in February was higher than the January reading of 12.4 million.
The February load factor of 92% remained flat on a year-over-year basis. The figure was higher than the load factor of 91% reported in January 2025.
Notably, RYAAY operated more than 71,360 flights in February 2025. This marks an improvement from the prior month wherein growth at RYAAY was hampered by 38 Boeing (BA - Free Report) delayed deliveries.
Allegiant’s scheduled traffic (measured in revenue passenger miles) in January 2025 rose 7.4% from the year-ago levels. Capacity (measured in available seat miles) for scheduled service jumped 9.9% year over year.
Despite this traffic growth, capacity expanded even more significantly by 9.9%, which led to a slight decline in the load factor (% of seats filled by passengers) to 78.8% from 80.7% in the prior year.
