Finnair has reported a 5.8% increase in fourth quarter revenues, for the final 3 months of 2023, to €727.2m.
The Helsinki-based airline carried 2.6 million passengers during the period, which was 6.5% up on the same quarter in the previous 12 months.
The carrier posted an operating profit of €22.5m, up from €18m in the final 3 months of the year.
Finnair plans to increase its total capacity by more than 10% this year, but revenue is expected to grow slower than its capacity.
Finnair interim chief executive Jaakko Schildt said:“Despite the challenging weather conditions during the period, the on-time performance of our flights remained at a reasonable level at 75%. Unlike many other airlines, we were able to operate almost all our flights despite some delays.”
