US Airways Group, Inc. Reports July Traffic
TEMPE, Ariz.–(EMWNews)–US Airways Group, Inc. (NYSE: LCC) today reported July and year-to-date
2008 traffic results. Mainline revenue passenger miles (RPMs) for the
month were 5.9 billion, down 0.8 percent from July 2007. Capacity was
6.9 billion available seat miles (ASMs), up 0.4 percent versus July
2007. Passenger load factor for the month of July was 85.1 percent, down
1.2 points versus July 2007.
US Airways President Scott Kirby said, “July
consolidated (mainline and Express) passenger revenue per available seat
mile (PRASM) increased between two and four percent versus the same
period last year. Industry capacity discipline coupled with a la carte
pricing is encouraging and we remain optimistic about the positive
impact that these initiatives will have on revenue. In addition, we are
pleased and grateful for the tremendous job our 35,000 employees have
done in turning our operation around. As a result of their hard work,
the airline has ranked in the top three among the ten largest US
Airlines in on-time arrivals as measured by the Department of
Transportation’s (DOT) Air Travel Consumer Report for six consecutive
months.”
For the month of July US Airways’ preliminary
on-time performance as measured by the DOT was 78.4 percent, with a
completion factor of 98.3 percent.
The following summarizes US Airways Group’s
traffic results for the month and year-to-date ended July 31, 2008 and
2007, consisting of mainline operated flights as well as US Airways
Express flights operated by wholly owned subsidiaries PSA Airlines and
Piedmont Airlines.
