國泰航空今天公布與港龍航空2014年8月份合併結算的客、貨運量。數據顯示， 8月份的載客量和貨物及郵件運載量均較去年同期有所增長。

兩航空公司在8月份合共載客二百八十四萬九千三百五十九人次，較去年同期上升3.6%，運載率增加0.5個百分點至87.2%。以可用座位千米數計算的運力則上升7.1%。今年首八個月的載客量上升5.8%，而運力亦增加5.6%。

兩航空公司在8月份運載的貨物及郵件合共十四萬六千九百五十五公噸，較去年同期增長19.7%，而運載率為62.5%，上升3.8個百分點。以可用貨物及郵件噸千米數計算的運力增加13.3%，而貨物及郵件收入噸千米數的升幅為20.6%。今年首八個月的載貨量上升11.3%，運力增加11.4%，而貨物及郵件收入噸千米數亦上升14.3%。

國泰航空收益管理總經理黃瑋彤表示：「8月是今年以來客運最繁忙的月份，國泰及港龍的載客量同創新高。8月份長途航線需求強勁，而北美洲業務亦得到芝加哥航線新增班次所帶動。曼谷航線的需求回升令人鼓舞，而韓國仍是最受香港旅客歡迎的旅遊熱點。頭等及商務客艙的需求持續勝於預期。」

國泰航空貨運營業及市務總經理薩孟凱表示：「8月份貨運需求仍持續暢旺，相比去年同期的載貨量增長較預期理想。香港及中國內地主要製造中心的出口需求持續強勁，我們預期在9月全新消費電子產品推出市場時，需求將進一步增加。美洲仍是貨運業務的重點市場，為進一步加強服務覆蓋，我們將開辦卡加利貨運航線，並分別由10月及11月起，增加哥倫布及墨西哥貨運的服務班次。」

Cathay Pacific releases combined traffic figures for August 2014

15 Sep 2014

Cathay Pacific Airways today released combined Cathay Pacific and Dragonair traffic figures for August 2014 that show a year-on-year increase in both the number of passengers carried and the amount of cargo and mail uplifted.

Cathay Pacific and Dragonair carried a total of 2,849,359 passengers in August – an increase of 3.6% compared to the same month in 2013. The passenger load factor rose by 0.5 percentage points to 87.2% while capacity, measured in available seat kilometres (ASKs), increased by 7.1%. For the year to the end of August, the passenger volume rose by 5.8% while capacity was up 5.6%.

The two airlines carried 146,955 tonnes of cargo and mail last month, an increase of 19.7% compared to August 2013. The cargo and mail load factor rose by 3.8 percentage points to 62.5%. Capacity, measured in available cargo/mail tonne kilometres, rose by 13.3% while cargo and mail revenue tonne kilometres (RTKs) flown were up by 20.6%. For the year to the end of August, tonnage rose by 11.3% while capacity was up by 11.4% and RTKs increased by 14.3%.

Cathay Pacific General Manager Revenue Management Patricia Hwang said: “August was the busiest month of the year so far for our passenger business with new highs recorded for passenger volumes on both Cathay Pacific and Dragonair. Demand on long-haul routes was strong throughout August and our business to and from North America was helped by the introduction of additional frequencies on the Chicago route. We saw an encouraging pick-up in demand to Bangkok, but Korea remained the most popular destination for leisure travellers out of Hong Kong. Demand in the premium cabins continued to be ahead of expectations.”

Cathay Pacific General Manager Cargo Sales & Marketing Mark Sutch said: “Demand remained robust throughout August and the year-on-year tonnage increase was again well above expectations. Demand out of Hong Kong and the key manufacturing regions in Mainland China remained strong and we hope to see a further uptick in September as new consumer IT products are launched in the market. The Americas remain the key focus of our cargo business and we will extend our presence further with a new freighter service to Calgary and increased frequencies to Columbus in October, and more flights to Mexico from November.”
