January 2017 Monthly traffic update

990,250
For the second consecutive month, Auckland Airport
welcomed a record number of international
passengers. The 990,250 (excluding transit
passengers) in January was 30,000 more than the
previous record set in December – and 10.9% more
than in January 2016. January’s new high was driven
by a combination of higher international visitors and
a record number of New Zealanders travelling
overseas, as well as the earlier timing of the Chinese
New year holiday.

27.5%
Auckland Airport’s Chinese visitor arrivals in January
were up 27.5% on January 2016 – an increase driven by
the recent growth in direct airline capacity and the earlier
timing of the Chinese New Year (January this year
compared to February last year). Strong Chinese New
Year traffic was also experienced from Hong Kong
(+73.6%) and Taiwan (+14.1%). Auckland Airport now
has six airlines operating a total of 44 weekly services
between Auckland and mainland China, and will add a
seventh airline with the launch of Sichuan Airlines’ three-
weekly service between Chengdu and Auckland from
June 2017.

11.8%
International passenger volumes at Cairns Airport
were up 11.8% in January 2016 and have grown by
20% over the last 12 months. The increase has been
driven by strong international capacity growth
including its newest airline Jin Air, who launched the
first low cost services between Australia and Korea
in January 2017.



18.4%
Auckland Airport’s international visitor arrivals from the
Americas grew 18.4% in January 2017. Double-digit
arrivals growth from American (+20%), Canadian
(+11.4%), Argentinian (+22.3%),and Brazilian (+47.3 %)
visitors was driven by the new American Airlines’ Los
Angeles and United Airlines’ San Francisco services and
capacity increases on Air New Zealand’s Houston and
Buenos Aires routes.
