Iberia down on load factor slip, Turkish Airlines and Lufthansa also down; easyJet up marginally

Iberia (-0.5%) declined on Thursday (16-Dec-2010) after European airline shares ended the session with mixed results. The carrier declined after reporting a 0.4 ppt year-on-year slip on load factor to 77.4%. The slip was due to a 2.1 ppt decline in long-haul load factor to 80.2%. Domestic and medium-haul load factors were both up for the month.
