AIA Monthly Traffic Update - November 2017
16-Jan-2018 6.3% - Auckland Airport's international passengers (excluding transits) were up by 6.3% in November 2017 compared to November 2016. Growth occurred across all regions with a particularly strong performance on Asia and Middle Eastern routes (+16.6%) and the Pacific Island services (+6.9%). International passenger growth was underpinned by seat capacity growth and higher load factors across the network.
10.8% - Visitor arrivals from the United States of America to Auckland Airport were up 10.8% in November 2017 compared to November 2016. This growth was driven by the increase in direct capacity from the United States following the seasonal return of United Airlines' San Francisco and American Airlines' Los Angeles services. Both holidaymakers and visiting friends and relatives (VFR) travel sectors achieved double-digit growth in November 2017.
