ACI Asia Pacific & Middle East director general: Asia Pacific to dominate regional traffic growth

ACI Asia Pacific & Middle East director general Stefano Baronci, speaking at Routes Asia 2025, stated (25-Mar-2025) Asia Pacific "will be dominating" other regions based on forecast passenger growth to 2033, 2043 and 2053. Asia Pacific is expected to record more than seven billion passengers by 2043, which will be higher than Europe and North America combined, and nine billion by 2053, which would be more than the current global total. Mr Baronci said Asia Pacific is forecast to contribute 3.9 billion additional passengers (46.8% of overall growth) for the period 2024 to 2043. He said demographics in Asia Pacific indicate a "fantastic opportunity for growth", also noting that "there is no substitution to air transport" in the region.
