AUG 27, 2003 (newstodate) During its first quarter, April-June, Air France netted four million euro in profits despite adverse business conditions.
The airline's total turnover was down by 9.2 percent, to 30.1 billion euro, and the recent ATC strikes cost the airline a total loss of 55 million euro.
Air France Cargo's turnover was down by 8.8 percent to 343 million euro.
Over the quarter as a whole, cargo operations were down 5.7 percent, year-on-year, in line with the 6.3 reduction reduction in capacity, partly a result of the reduction in capacity on passenger flights.
The load factor rose 0.4 points to 65.3. Cargo operations were also hit by the political and health situation, although to a lesser degree than passenger operations, the airline says.
Revenue per Available-tonne-km was up 5.8 percent after discounting negative currency effects, 7.6 percent.
