Finnair’s traffic grew in November

In November, Finnair’s traffic grew by 7% compared with the corresponding month
last year. Scheduled traffic grew by 17%. The comparison figure is exceptionally
low due to a two-day strike by pilots in November 2009. The lower growth figure
for traffic overall is due to a 22% decline in leisure traffic. Leisure flight
capacity has been cut to correspond with the fall in demand.

In January-November, scheduled traffic grew by 5% and traffic overall declined
by 1.5%. Growth has fluctuated strongly throughout the year. In the first
quarter, development was negative, but from the spring demand began to rise. Of
the traffic segments, Asian traffic is still growing at more than 10%.

The passenger load factor fell in November by just over 2%. Taking the year as a
whole, aircraft flew slightly fuller than last year. The passenger load factor
for traffic overall in January-November was 77%, for Asian traffic 82%.

In cargo traffic, Finnair has shown impressive growth figures, above all due to
the cargo aircraft operation launched in May, but also due to a recovery in
cargo demand, particularly in Asia. In November, Finnair carried 46% more cargo
than a year earlier. Growth in the amount of cargo carried in the holds of
aircraft was 16% in November.

The arrival punctuality of Finnair flights in November was 80.8%, which is 1.3
percentage points better than last year. The arrival punctuality of scheduled
flights was 82%.

Next release on traffic statistics will be released on 8 January 2010.
