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.

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%.
