During March, Alaska Airlines, a subsidiary of the Alaska Air Group, reported that its load factor increased to 84.5 percent from 81.6 percent the year before. The load factor is the percentage of paying passengers occupying the available seats. They were also on time more often during the past year, jumping from 70.2 percent to 87.2 percent.
The airline also reported that the number of revenue passenger miles increased from 1.56 billion in March 2009 to 1.65 billion, which means it has risen by 5.8 percent. The increases are not just for Alaska Airlines, but their sister, Horizon Air has also seen an increase in revenue passenger miles by 6.6 percent, making it 204 million. Horizon’s load factor was also affected, rising to 73.3 percent from 69.5 percent of last year. Their on-time performance also improved from 86 percent to 91.1 percent.
