GOL Linhas Reports Rise in August Traffic & Load Factor
GOL Linhas AereasInteligentes S.A. has reported air traffic figures for the month of August. Following this data release, shares of the company rose 1.4% to close the trading session at $20.60 per share on Sep 13.
Traffic — measured in revenue passenger kilometers (RPK) — increased 3.4% to 2.99 billion in August from 2.89 billion a year ago. On a year-over-year basis, consolidated capacity (or available seat kilometers/ASKs) improved 3% to 3.82 billion, primarily driven by a rise of 2.6% and 5.6% in domestic and international capacity, respectively.

On the other hand, load factor — percentage of seats filled by passengers — edged up to 78.1% from 77.7% in August 2016, owing to traffic growth exceeding capacity expansion.
At the end of the first eight months of 2017, RPK inched up 1.8% while ASK slid 0.4%. Load factor for the same period expanded 170 basis points. The company however, recorded a 6.4% reduction in the number of seats in the first eight months of this year. Volume of departures too fell 6.8%.
