January 2018 Monthly traffic update

1 million
For the second consecutive month, Auckland Airport
welcomed a record number of international passengers.
The 1,023,798 international passengers (excluding
transits) in January 2018 was 10,000 more than the
previous record set in December 2017 – and 3.4% more
than in January 2017. This strong start to the second half
of the 2018 financial year was driven by additional seats
on the Asia and Middle East routes (+43,000), Americas
(+18,000) and the Pacific Islands (+12,000).

-28.4%

In January 2018 Auckland Airport’s Chinese visitor
arrivals were down 28.4% compared to January
2017. This was driven by the later timing of
Chinese New Year (February this year compared
to January last year). In the past year Auckland
Airport has seen strong growth in New Zealand
residents travelling to China, up 13.2%. This
growth was stimulated by a 10.7% increase in seat
capacity between Auckland and mainland China.
39,557
A new daily international passenger record was
achieved at Auckland Airport on Saturday 6 January
2018, with 39,557 international passengers travelling
through the international terminal. In January 2018,
international passengers averaged 33,026 per day, an
average increase of 1,080 per day compared to January
2017.

200,000
Queenstown Airport achieved double-digit
passenger growth (up 10.8%) and over 200,000
total passengers in January 2018. Domestic
passenger performance at Queenstown Airport
was up 10.9% in January 2018, driven by new seat
capacity (+10,000) and strengthening passenger
numbers on the Auckland–Queenstown route.
