MONTREAL — For the month of September, ********** reported a system load factor of 84.7%, versus 83.2% in September 2013, representing an increase of 1.5 percentage points on a system-wide capacity increase of 7.3%.

On this additional capacity, system wide traffic for September increased 9.2%. ********** reports traffic results on a system-wide basis, including ********** rouge, which began operations on July 1, 2013, and regional airlines from which ********** purchases capacity.

According to Calin Rovinescu, President and Chief Executive Officer, “these strong traffic results on a capacity increase of 7.3% for the month are a powerful indication of the effectiveness of our commercial strategy. Load factor of 87.2% for the third quarter was a record for the quarter as we continued to execute both our international growth plan and ********** rouge strategy. This year’s Ipsos Reid Business Traveller Survey released in September confirms that ********** is the preferred ******* for frequent business travellers by a continuingly growing margin across the country.”
