PLAY carried 124,587 passengers in July 2025, compared to 187,835 passengers in July 2024. The decrease in passenger numbers year-on-year is primarily driven by the airline’s strategic shift in fleet deployment, with fewer aircraft operating within PLAY’s own route network due to ACMI leasing agreements with other operators. Despite the reduced capacity, the load factor reached 90.3%, a notable improvement from 88.4% in July 2024. This reflects strong demand and efficient capacity management, particularly impressive given PLAY’s increased focus on leisure destinations out of Iceland. Leisure routes typically yield higher revenues but tend to have lower load factors, making this performance especially significant. Of the passengers flying with PLAY in July 2025, 38.6% were flying from Iceland, 39.1% were going to Iceland, 22.3%...
