March 2018 Monthly traffic update
8.9%
International passengers (excluding transit passengers)
increased by 8.9% to 909,413 in March 2018. The
74,000 increase, compared with March 2017, was due to
both the Easter holiday period starting in late-March this
year, compared to mid-April in 2017 and strong capacity
growth on the Asia and Middle East (+24,000 seats),
Americas (+14,000 seats) and the Pacific Islands
(+14,000 seats) routes.
North
America
Air New Zealand will launch a new three flights per
week service between Auckland and Chicago,
commencing November 2018 and providing more
than 85,000 seats on the new route. United Airlines
has also announced that it will extend its seasonal
service between Auckland and San Francisco to
year-round, operating a B777-200 aircraft three
times per week during the northern summer
season from April 2019.
Tasman
Air New Zealand and Virgin Australia have both
announced increases in their trans-Tasman capacity,
following the decision to end their alliance. From
December 2018, Air New Zealand will be adding 15%
capacity on its Auckland services and Virgin Australia
will increase frequency, up to triple daily on Sydney and
up to double daily on both Melbourne and Brisbane.
PR
Manila
Philippine Airlines has announced that it will
upgrade the aircraft used on its Auckland service
from June 2018. The change to the new, three-
class A330 aircraft will increase the overall route
capacity by 22%.
