June 2022 Monthly traffic update and July 2022 Monthly traffic preview

June 2022 Monthly traffic update

38%. Auckland Airport total passenger volumes increased by 38% in June 2022
versus June 2021, but were down 38% compared to the pre-COVID equivalent in
June 2019. Compared to June 2021, international passengers (excl. transits)
were up 145%, transit passengers were up 3003% and domestic passengers were
up by 9%.

Key Points:

o International passenger recovery continues with passenger numbers for June
2022 increasing 11% on prior month representing a 42% recovery compared to
June 2019;

o Load factors on international flights were at levels not observed since
2015 demonstrating a combination of strong passenger demand and a shortage of
airline capacity. Short-haul international load factors were 90% for June
2022, higher than any other month in over seven years of operations.
Long-haul international load factors were slightly below historic levels due
to softness on routes that operate to and from countries with the most
restrictive border settings (China, Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan). If these
routes were excluded, then average long-haul load factors increase to 88%.
Load factors this high are only traditionally observed during peak summer
months;

o Demand on the domestic network improved, increasing 10% on the prior month.
Domestic passenger volume recovered to 87% of June 2019 with recovery on
regional sectors at 85% compared to 87% on jet sectors. Passengers on
Queenstown route exceeded June 2019 volume with 79k passengers for the month,
growth of 4% on June 2019.
