AIA – Monthly Traffic Update December 2016

December 2016 Monthly traffic update 960,681 Auckland Airport's December 2016 international passengers (excluding transit passengers) were the highest ever for a single month. The 960,861 passengers was 67,000 higher than the previous record set in January 2016, and 13.1% higher than December 2015. The December 2016 result was driven by capacity increases on North American and Asian routes, which increased visitor arrivals over summer, as well as by the number of people visiting friends and relatives over the Christmas / New Year holiday period. 10.9% Domestic passengers increased by 10.9%, or 75,000 passengers, in December 2016 compared with December 2015. The record 761,581 passengers was largely due to the increased number of regional services, which accounted for almost half the month's growth. In December 2016, Jetstar celebrated its first year of regional services. Air New Zealand's strong domestic growth was driven by a 10% capacity increase on jet services, including a more than 30 % increase on the popular Auckland-Queenstown route. 9.3m International passengers (excluding transit passengers) increased to 9.3 million in the year ending 31 December 2016. This 10.4% increase on the previous 12 months was primarily due to additional capacity on flights from the United States, the Middle East, Japan, China, Thailand and Australia, and as a result of nine new airlines launching Auckland services in the past 18 months. 36,403 A new daily international passenger record was achieved at Auckland Airport on Friday 23 December 2016, with 36,403 international passengers travelling through the international terminal. In December 2016, international passengers averaged 30,990 per day, an average increase of 3,600 per day on December 2015.
