Summary of Traffic and Capacity Statistics
Month of May 2014
Qantas Group passenger numbers for May 2014 were in line with the previous year. Group capacity
(Available Seat Kilometres) increased by 3.0 per cent and Group demand (Revenue Passenger Kilometres)
increased by 1.5 per cent, resulting in a revenue seat factor of 73.4 per cent which was 1.1 percentage
points lower than the previous year.
Demand at Qantas Domestic in the month was negatively impacted by weak consumer confidence and
business sentiment. On 21 May 2014, Qantas announced that in response to changing conditions in the
domestic market, total domestic capacity growth (comprising Qantas Domestic, QantasLink and Jetstar
Domestic) will be zero in each of the first three months of financial year 2015 compared to the prior
corresponding period.

resulting in a revenue seat factor of 77.4 per cent which was 1.9 percentage points lower than the previous
year.
For the financial year to date, Qantas Group yields were lower than the prior corresponding period. Total
Domestic (comprising Qantas Domestic, QantasLink and Jetstar Domestic) yields were lower than the prior
corresponding period as a result of market capacity growth and weak demand. Total International yields
were lower than the prior corresponding period due to persistently high levels of competitor capacity growth
