Growth was achieved across all regions, led by Pacific Island routes which were up 4.9% as a result of New Zealanders travelling for winter holidays.x4Visitor arrivals from Indonesia in July 2014 were more than four times higher than last July (2,281 visitors compared to 536). Indonesian arrivals were boosted by visitors travelling during the Ramadan holiday period. This year Ramadan fell in late-July compared with early-August in 2013.
27.9%International passenger volumes at Queenstown Airport were 27.9% higher in July 2014 than the previous year. This is the highest ever number of international passengers at Queenstown Airport in a single month. The passenger volumes were driven by trans-Tasman ski season traffic.
