In March 2025, an airline reported a noteworthy uptick in the number of scheduled service passengers, marking a 14.4% increase compared to the previous year. This growth reflects a strengthening demand for air travel amid changing market dynamics.
However, the airline also experienced a significant expansion in its capacity, with available seat miles (ASM) climbing 20.7% to reach 2.21 million. This indicates that the airline has been actively increasing its service offerings to accommodate more passengers.
Despite the rise in passengers and capacity, the airline's load factor, which measures the percentage of available seating capacity that is filled with passengers, decreased by 3.5 percentage points to 82.4%. This suggests that while more seats are available, not all are being filled at the same rate as before.
