Monthly traffic update
3.4% | International
passenger volumes (excluding transit passengers) at Auckland
Airport were up 3.4% versus November 2012. The majority of
the growth came from North American (+10,000 passengers) and
Asian routes (+8,000 passengers). North American growth was
driven by Hawaiian Airlines and additional Air New Zealand
capacity. Asian growth was driven by year-on-year increases
of more than 10% on Korean, Chinese, Malaysian and Thai
routes. | 47.3% | International passenger volumes at Queenstown Airport were up 47.3% versus November 2012 and up 32.9% for the financial year-to-date. The passenger growth was driven by increased trans-Tasman traffic with additional services to Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne on Jetstar and to Sydney and Melbourne on Air New Zealand. |
14.6% | Visitor arrivals from North America were up 16% versus November 2012. The growth was due to visitor arrivals from both the United States (+14.6%) and Canada (+21.2%) caused by an increase in the numbers of Americans arriving and departing to connect with cruises, as well as the extra capacity from Hawaiian Airlines and Air New Zealand. | 13.4% | Visitor arrivals
from traditional North Asian markets performed well in
November 2013. Visitor arrivals from Taiwan were up 40%,
Korea up 13.4% and Japan up 8.2%. New and established South
East Asian markets also performed well with visitor arrivals
from Thailand (+75.5%), Malaysia (+19.9%) and Indonesia
(+14.5%) all up significantly versus November 2012. While
Chinese visitor arrivals continued to be impacted by new
Chinese travel laws (-17.3%), direct services to New Zealand
from China continued to perform
strongly. |
