January 2017 Monthly traffic update
| 990,250 | For the
second consecutive month, Auckland Airport welcomed a record
number of international passengers. The 990,250 (excluding
transit passengers) in January was 30,000 more than the
previous record set in December – and 10.9% more than in
January 2016. January’s new high was driven by a
combination of higher international visitors and a record
number of New Zealanders travelling overseas, as well as the
earlier timing of the Chinese New year
holiday. | 27.5% | Auckland
Airport’s Chinese visitor arrivals in January were up
27.5% on January 2016 – an increase driven by the recent
growth in direct airline capacity and the earlier timing of
the Chinese New Year (January this year compared to February
last year). Strong Chinese New Year traffic was also
experienced from Hong Kong (+73.6%) and Taiwan (+14.1%).
Auckland Airport now has six airlines operating a total of
44 weekly services between Auckland and mainland China, and
will add a seventh airline with the launch of Sichuan
Airlines’ three-weekly service between Chengdu and
Auckland from June
2017. |
| 11.8% | International
passenger volumes at Cairns Airport were up 11.8% in January
2016 and have grown by 20% over the last 12 months. The
increase has been driven by strong international capacity
growth including its newest airline Jin Air, who launched
the first low cost services between Australia and Korea in
January
2017.
