This monthly traffic update from Auckland International Airport Limited (AIAL) is generated with assistance and data from Statistics New Zealand, the New Zealand Customs Service, Airways New Zealand, Immigration New Zealand, Queenstown
Airport Corporation, North Queensland Airports Pty Limited and AIAL. International and Domestic passenger movements are actual. Auckland Airport has refined its passenger and movements data from September 2016, resulting in a
restatement of data year to date and prior year comparatives. This document is intended for information purposes. It should not be considered a recommendation, offer or invitation to purchase securities. All reasonable steps have been taken
to ensure that the information is true and accurate at the time of publication. * Total international passengers including transits. **Maximum Certificated Take-Off Weight (MCTOW) forms the basis of determining airfield charges at Auckland
Airport. *** Transit passengers in Mackay are required to stay on board the aircraft and do not enter the terminal.
September 2017 Monthly traffic update

2.2%
International passengers (excluding transits) were
up by 2.2% at Auckland Airport in September 2017
compared to September 2016. Winter holiday travel
continued to drive growth on Pacific Island routes, up
5.4%. The later timing of New Zealand and
Australian school holidays combined with the impact
from the temporary fuel disruption resulted in lower
passenger growth in September 2017; we expect to
see much of this growth to move into October 2017.

6.1%

Mackay Airport’s domestic passenger volumes
were 6.1% higher in September 2017 compared
with September 2016. This growth was driven by a
5% increase in passenger load factors. The recent
return to growth for Mackay Airport after a period
of decline was in part due to the suspension of
Virgin Australia flights to nearby Moranbah airport
which consolidated traffic on Mackay services.
Traffic was further boosted by an Elton John
concert in late September.

97%
Despite fuel rationing over a 12 day period in
September 2017, 97% of the scheduled domestic
and international flights operated at Auckland Airport
during the period. Impacts to travel and trade were
largely mitigated as airlines worked hard to
accommodate affected passengers, and services
were back to schedule in time for the Term 3 school
holidays.

QF/EK
changes
Qantas and Emirates have announced network
changes to their Tasman services from late-March
2018. Emirates will stop flying its Brisbane and
Melbourne services to Auckland, to focus on its
daily long-haul Auckland-Dubai A380 service,
which better serves European traffic. At the same
time Qantas will increase the frequency of its
Auckland services from Melbourne (+7 flights
weekly) and Brisbane (+2 flights weekly), and use
more widebody A330 aircraft on its Tasman routes.
