The ASK increase in Asian traffic was 41,5% compared to the previous year, which is due, among other things, to the additional capacity to Japan and South Korea.

Capacity in the Middle East increased by 1.588,6% due to the cooperation with Qatar Airways that began in November 2022 and low traffic volumes in the summer 2022 season.
