October 2015 Monthly traffic update
| 7.6% | Auckland
Airport’s international passengers (excluding transit
passengers) were up 7.6% in October 2015 compared with
October 2014. Growth was achieved across all regions and
was led by Asian routes, which were up 17.8% due to new
capacity from China Eastern’s Shanghai service and
additional Air New Zealand capacity on the Tokyo and
Singapore routes.
| 16.1 million | Auckland Airport’s total passenger movements exceeded 16 million passengers in the 12 months to October 2015, up 873,000 passengers on the previous 12 month period. Both international and domestic performed well (up 7.1% and 4.4% respectively), and transit passengers also increased, up 3.1% to more than 500,000 passengers. The growth in transit passengers is due to airlines adding new routes, and new flight times that optimise transfers for connecting Trans-Pacific passengers. |
| 18.3% | Queenstown
Airport’s total passenger numbers increased 18.3% in
October 2014. School holidays, Golden Week, Labour Weekend
and the Jazz Festival all helped to boost domestic and
international travel activity. International passengers
were up 34.4%, while a 13.7% increase in domestic passengers
reflected additional capacity and passenger volumes,
especially on the Auckland-Queenstown route which saw both
Air New Zealand and Jetstar add 30% more seats this
October. | 17.9% | Visitor
arrivals from Korea were up 17.9% in October 2015 driven by
a 5.7% higher load factor on Korean Air. The airline will
increase capacity on its Seoul-Auckland service this summer,
increasing the size of its aircraft from a B777-200 to a
B777-300ER on its 5-weekly service from late October, and
then a daily B747-400 service between December and
late-March. Korean Air will also fly its new B747-800
Intercontinental aircraft to Auckland in January and
February. |
