Just seen LH's June data, and it appears that, for the first time in the company's history, the seat load factor hit 80.0% for the entire month.

Number of passengers grew 4.8% to 5 million, ASK grew 4.9% to 13 billion and RPK grew 7.6% to 10.5 billion. Load factor to North America and Asia/Pacific was 85% each.

Cargo loads hit 70%, up 3 percentage point from last year.

Oh, for those who think that Ryanair et al are going to kill legacies on the short haul: Year-to-date continental RPK grew 10.0% with a load factor of 65% (1.5PP up from 2006)
