Operating revenue for the 28 days was N$13.5 billion (US$400 million), a 1.3% decline against 12 months ago.

Capacity declined 0.9% in the 28 days and overall passenger load factor for the month was 80.5%. Operating revenue booked from last January 1 to February 28 delivered 9.9% year-on-year growth to NT$30.1 billion.
