In the domestic market, the company has observed the return of business passengers due to the end of vacations as well as the absence of holidays in the month of August. However, the company has seen this return in a modest way, an indication that the industry is still impacted by the global economic crisis. The company’s load factor was 62.8%, a 4.9 p.p. reduction when compared to August last year, mainly composed of an increase in offered capacity of 5.9% and a decrease of 1.7% in demand. Nonetheless, the company’s load factor was above the 62.6% market average. The industry demand and supply grew 21.5% and 20.1%, respectively. The company’s market share (RPK) was 43.8%.
The domestic yield in August presented a recovery when compared to July, however, TAM believes the third quarter’s average will remain stable or slightly below second quarter results, mainly because of the dynamic observed in September.
In the international market, the company has obtained a 16.8% growth in RPK when compared to the same period last year, while the ASK grew 24.5%. TAM’s market share in August reached 89.4% and the load factor was 73.7%, 4.8 p.p. above the market average of 68.9%.
