Notes:
This monthly traffic update from Auckland International Airport Limited (AIAL) is generated with assistance and data from Statistics New Zealand, the New Zealand Customs Service, Airways New Zealand, Immigration New Zealand, Queenstown

Airport Corporation and AIAL. International and Domestic passenger movements are actual. A refinement in transit reporting from Immigration New Zealand in June 2018 has resulted in Auckland Airport restating Transit passenger numbers

for the current and prior periods. This document is intended for information purposes. It should not be considered a recommendation, offer or invitation to purchase securities. All reasonable steps have been taken to ensure that the information

is true and accurate at the time of publication. *Maximum Certificated Take-Off Weight (MCTOW) forms the basis of determining airfield charges at Auckland Airport. **Statistics New Zealand cargo data is one month in arrears.

February 2019 Monthly traffic update


2.0%

Auckland Airport experienced total passenger growth of 2.0% in February 2019. International passengers (excl. Transits) were flat on the

prior year period, while domestic passengers grew by 4.2% compared to February 2018.


International passenger growth (excl. Transits) was impacted by the earlier timing of Chinese New Year, with most of the arrivals in January

2019 as opposed to February in 2018. Chinese visitor arrivals were down 29.1% in February 2019. Domestic passenger growth was

predominantly driven by additional capacity, particularly on the Auckland-Queenstown route (+12,000 seats).


Key Points:

• Air New Zealand has announced it will commence three flights per week between Auckland and Seoul from 23 November 2019 and will operate

up to five flights per week during the summer peak holiday period from late December to mid-February.

• Air New Zealand has announced it will be increasing frequency to up to five flights per week on its Taipei and Chicago routes during the New

Zealand summer peak from November 2019.
