OREANDA-NEWS. AMR Corporation today reported October 2013 consolidated revenue and traffic results for its principal subsidiary, American Airlines, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiary, AMR Eagle Holding Corporation.

October's consolidated passenger revenue per available seat mile (PRASM) increased an estimated 6.6 percent versus the same period last year. This result was impacted by the government shutdown, which led to a reduction of approximately USD 20 million in revenue and 1.1 percentage points in PRASM. Separately, the year-over-year PRASM comparison was aided by 2.7 percentage points from reduced revenues in October 2012 associated with operational disruptions that impacted bookings last year.

Consolidated capacity and traffic were 4.3 percent and 4.4 percent higher year-over-year, respectively, resulting in a consolidated load factor of 82.4 percent, 0.1 points above the same period last year.

Domestic traffic was 3.5 percent higher year-over-year on 3.9 percent more capacity, resulting in a domestic load factor of 83.6 percent, 0.3 points lower compared to the same period last year.

International load factor of 82.0 percent was 0.7 points higher year-over-year, as traffic increased 5.0 percent on 4.1 percent more capacity. The Atlantic entity recorded the highest load factor of 86.5 percent, an increase of 3.7 points versus October 2012.
