June 2014 Monthly traffic update
3.7% | International
passenger volumes (excluding transit passengers) were 3.7%
higher in June 2014 than the previous year. Passenger growth
was achieved across all route regions. Asia was the
strongest performer (+5.1%) on the back of strong passenger
growth on the Japanese, Chinese and Malaysian routes. Winter
holiday destination travel also drove strong passenger
numbers on the Pacific (+3.4%) and Trans-Tasman (+3.6%)
routes. | 5.9% | More
overseas visitors are arriving at Auckland Airport than ever
before. Overseas visitor arrivals for the year ended 30 June
2014 grew 5.9% on the previous year. The largest visitor
increases came from Australia (up 36,104), United States of
America (16,847) and China (13,213). The growth has been
driven by capacity increases on Trans-Tasman routes and
increased direct routes from China and the United
States. |
Comparison to Aeronautical Pricing Forecast | Annual movements in passenger numbers processed at Auckland Airport between the 2014 and 2013 financial years compared to the estimated passenger movements used in the regulated pricing forecast were: International passengers up 5.1% compared to the 3.6% increase provided for in the pricing forecast; transit passengers up 5.5% (vs 3.4%); and Domestic passengers up 2.2% (vs 3.4%). The pricing forecast excluded anticipated passenger growth resulting from non-airline funded marketing activities undertaken by Auckland Airport. | 2.6% | In the past year passenger volumes at North Queensland Airports have been impacted by a number of factors including service reductions, schedule changes, cyclones and the downturn in the mining industry (impacting predominantly Mackay). However, total passenger numbers at Cairns have grown 2.6% for the 12 months ended 30 June 2014, on the back of 4.6% domestic passenger growth. This domestic growth has developed due to more international passengers visiting Cairns on domestic flights from within Australia, following reductions in direct international services to Cairns. |
