February 2018 Monthly traffic update

6.5%
International passengers (excluding transit passengers)
increased by 6.5% to 872,408 in February 2018. The
53,000 increase compared with February 2017 was due
to Chinese New Year travel falling in mid-February this
year compared to January last year, and strong growth
in the number of New Zealanders travelling overseas (up
7.2%) as a result of increased capacity on the Asia and
Middle East routes (up 13.6%) and the Americas (up
9.2%).
EK Bali

In February 2018, Emirates announced a new daily
service from Dubai to Auckland via Bali,
commencing June 2018. This service will
complement the airline’s existing non-stop daily
service between Dubai and Auckland and provide
the only year-round daily service between
Auckland and Bali. Emirates and Qatar Airways,
which operates a daily Doha-Auckland service,
have increased New Zealand’s connectivity to
Europe, with European resident arrivals up 8.6% in
the past 12 months.

19.1%
The later timing of Chinese New Year this year resulted
in a 92.1% increase in Chinese visitor arrivals in
February 2018, compared with February 2017. The
combined January and February 2018 Chinese visitor
arrivals were up 19.1% compared with the same months
last year. Taiwanese visitor arrivals also experienced the
same trend over the same period, up 22.0%.
NZ Taipei
A new direct service to Taipei was announced by
Air New Zealand in February 2018. Commencing
in November 2018, the new service is expected to
add an additional 95,000 seats to the route every
year. China Airlines’ daily Taipei-Auckland service
operates via Brisbane and the introduction of a
direct service is expected to increase the
popularity of New Zealand as a holiday destination.
