By routes, Korea edged up 1.1% to 137,210 passengers from the
year-ago month, but all the other routes swung to a decrease compared
to the same month a year earlier, except that while ASK of the Europe
and Southeast Asia routes declined by 9.4% and 3.6% respectively,
those of RPK decreased less by 6.8% and 2% respectively, therefore
