October 2017 Monthly traffic update

6.8%
Auckland Airport’s international passengers
(excluding transits) were up by 6.8% in October
2017 compared to October 2016. The later timing
of the New Zealand school holidays, combined
with strong passenger growth across Asia/Middle
East (up 28.3%) and the Pacific Islands (up 8.7%),
were the key drivers of growth in October 2017.

10.7%

Chinese visitor arrivals were up 10.7% in October
2017 compared to October 2016. This growth was
driven by improved load factors, an increase in
direct capacity from mainland China and additional
indirect capacity through Hong Kong. Air China
now operates the larger B787-900 aircraft on its
Beijing service, while our newer airlines – Tianjin
Airlines, Hainan Airlines, Sichuan Airlines and
Hong Kong Airlines – continue to grow their market
presence as they head into the 2017/2018 summer
travel season.

UA/AA
return
The Northern Winter 2017/2018 season began in
late October 2017 and saw the return of United
Airlines’ daily San Francisco service, using the
larger B777-300 aircraft and adding 21,000 seats
this season. American Airlines also resumed its
daily Los Angeles service in October 2017,
returning with the larger B787-900 aircraft and
adding 22,000 seats.
46.6%
Korean visitor arrivals were up 46.6% in October
2017 compared to October 2016 – driven by a
15.2% increase in seat capacity on Korean Air.
The airline has increased to daily frequency on its
Seoul-Auckland service for the summer travel
season, operating a B777-300ER from late
October 2017 and a B747-800 service between
December 2017 and February 2018.
