Local Share and Passenger Numbers Increase Between Years We just published our traffic report for June 2024. Passenger numbers increased 7.5% between years but we had hoped for a higher load factor. There are several contributing factors to a lower load factor between years but the biggest one is increased competition in transatlantic flights We are delighted to see that we are still growing our share in the Icelandic Market. It is evident that people in Iceland are happy with our services and that the word is spreading. We have always aimed to be the leading airline for leisure travel from Iceland, and our growing local share reflects that commitment. Our on-time performance was exceptional in June, 91.4% which is the result of the dedication of our operations team at PLAY, who are always fully focused on ensuring our flight plans run as smoothly as possible.
