KUALA LUMPUR (Dow Jones)--Malaysian low cost-carrier AirAsia Bhd (5099.KU) said Monday it carried 19% more passengers in the July-September quarter than a year earlier.
In a statement, the airline said it carried 3.6 million passengers against 3.0 million a year earlier.
It said its seat load factor remained unchanged at 75.4% because it added 13% more capacity, as measured by available seat kilometers, following the increased number of aircraft in its fleet.
AirAsia took delivery of one Airbus A320 aircraft and its associates--Thai AirAsia and Indonesia AirAsia--took delivery of three Airbus A320 aircraft during the quarter.
At the end of September, the airline had 48 aircraft, up from 46 a year earlier.
