TRAFFIC AND CAPACITY STATISTICS - May 2004

Summary of the headline figures

In May 2004, passenger capacity, measured in Available Seat Kilometres, was 8 per cent above May 2003 and traffic, measured in Revenue Passenger Kilometres, was higher by 11 per cent. This resulted in a passenger load factor up 1.9 points versus last year, to 71.6 per cent. The increase in traffic comprised a 12.1 per cent increase in premium traffic and a 10.8 per cent increase in non-premium traffic. Cargo, measured in Cargo Tonne Kilometres, rose by 15.6 per cent. Overall load factor fell 0.6 points to 66.5 per cent.

Market conditions

Market conditions are unchanged. Longhaul premium volumes are recovering steadily, while shorthaul premium remain at lower levels. Non-premium volumes are very price-sensitive.

Strategic Developments

British Airways posted a pre-tax profit of £230 million for the full year to March 31, 2004 (2003: £135 million profit). There was a pre-tax profit for the fourth quarter of £45 million (2003: £200 million loss).
The operating profit for the full year was £405 million (2003: £295 million profit). The operating profit for the fourth quarter was £32 million, £196 million better than last year.

British Airways added £2.50 per flight sector (£5 return trip) as a separate fuel surcharge to its fares in the UK from Thursday, May 13, as a result of the rising price of oil. The fuel surcharge applies to all fares, except the lowest lead in fares, sold across the British Airways' global network. In all markets outside the UK a surcharge of $4 USD per flight sector will be added.

British Airways CitiExpress launched direct flights from Birmingham International Airport to Lyon, Vienna and Nice and announced increased capacity on existing services from Birmingham to Dusseldorf.

British Airways cut European airfares by up to a third on major routes departing from London Gatwick. Fares are now reduced by up to £30 return throughout the year to 38 European destinations.

British Airways announced a six week sale offering savings of up to £330 on business class return fares to 75 European cities and savings of over £1000 (some forty per cent) on Club World fares to many popular destinations, for travel during the school holidays.
