What the source says
Full year 2025 capacity was up 6.5% and load factor climbed 0.9 ppt to 74.9%. This was the lowest load factor among regions but a record high for Africa and the strongest load factor increase of any region.
Checked: the figure 74.9%is stated in this passage. If it does not match, the extraction is wrong and we want to know.
