GENERAL: AIA: AIA Monthly Traffic Update - May 2019
1.7% Auckland Airport experienced total passenger growth of 1.7% in May 2019.
International passengers (excl. Transits) were up 0.9%, while domestic
passengers grew by 3.3% compared to May 2018. Financial year to date to the
end of May, International passengers (excl. Transits) were up 3.1% and
domestic passengers were up 3.6% versus prior year.
Key Points:
o Hong Kong Airlines withdrew Auckland-Hong Kong services effective from 22
May 2019. This contributed to Chinese visitor arrivals for the month being
down 13.7% vs prior year.
o Transit passengers were down 5.9% compared to May 2018, primarily driven by
more passengers choosing to travel on direct services particularly between
Australia and the Americas.
o Domestic passenger growth was predominantly driven by additional capacity,
particularly on the Auckland-Queenstown route (+10,000 seats).
