Direct News Source

2.3% - Auckland Airport experienced total passenger growth of 2.3% in June 2018. International passengers (excl. Transits) were up 1.9%, with growth impacted by the absence this year of the British & Irish Lions rugby tour that took place in June 2017 and Emirates exit from the Tasman. Domestic passengers grew by 3.8%, driven by additional capacity, mainly on the Auckland to Queenstown (up 11.5%) and Auckland to Dunedin (up 13.4%) routes.

20.5m - Total passenger numbers grew by 5.7% to 20.5 million in the year to 30 June 2018, surpassing the 20 million passengers milestone for the first time in a financial year. The 1.1 million increase was driven by a 4.7% rise in international passengers (excluding transits) and a 7.7% rise in domestic passengers, partially offset by a 1.2% reduction in transit passengers.

Key Points:

  • Virgin Australia has announced it will operate a new, seasonal three-weekly direct service between Auckland and Newcastle. The service will add 13,000 seats on the route from November 2018 to February 2019.
