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.
