LONDON (Reuters) - British Airways (BAY.L) said on Wednesday that traffic fell during November compared with the previous year and trading conditions remain "broadly unchanged."

The airline said traffic measured in revenue passenger kilometres (RPK) fell by 5.9 percent in November to 8.71 billion.

Overall passenger numbers dipped by 7.8 percent versus a year earlier to 2.42 million.

BA said its passenger load factor -- a measure of how full its aircraft were -- dropped by 2.2 percentage points to 74.4 percent.

"Financial guidance for the year remains unchanged," the airline said.
