The number of passengers transported by the company since the beginning of 2015 amounted to 5,810,397, 0.8% less than in the comparable period of the previous year, as a result of the reduced number of available seat kilometers. From January to March 2015, the revenue passenger kilometers increased to 9.843 billion (previous year: 9.530 billion) and the available seat kilometers increased to 11.827 billion (previous year: 11.649 billion).
