December 2017 Monthly traffic update

1 million
Auckland Airport exceeded one million
international passengers (excluding transits) in a
single calendar month for the first time since the
airport opened in 1966. This was a 5.5% increase
compared to December 2016. The strong
performance was driven by increased capacity on
Asia and Middle East routes (+55,000 seats),
Americas (+16,000 seats) and the Pacific Islands
(+9,000 seats).
Manila
Direct

In December 2017, Philippine Airlines launched a
new direct Manila–Auckland service, replacing its
indirect service via Cairns. The airline also
changed its aircraft from an A320 to an A340,
increasing capacity by 22% or 14,000 seats. The
new direct Manila–Auckland service will continue
to contribute towards the strong growth in the
number of Filipino visitors holidaying in New
Zealand, which has more than doubled since the
airline started flying to Auckland in 2015.
10 million
2017 was a record year for international
passengers (excluding transits) at Auckland
Airport, with more than 10 million for the first time
during a 12-month period. This growth of 7.9%
compared to 2016 was underpinned by increased
frequency and new services predominantly on
Asia and Middle East, United States and Pacific
Island routes.
2 million
Queenstown Airport achieved an important
milestone in December 2017 welcoming its two
million passenger for the first time in a year.
Queenstown Airport’s 2017 passenger numbers
increased 13% compared to 2016, with a 20%
increase in domestic passengers in the week
leading up to Christmas.
