March 2020 Monthly traffic update and April 2020 preview
-42.0%
Auckland Airport total passenger volumes decreased by 42.0% in March 2020 versus last year. International passengers (excl. Transits)
were down 43.2%, transit passengers were down 49.5% and domestic passengers were down by 40.1%.
Key Points:
• The decline in total passengers for March 2020 reflect the impact of the travel restrictions imposed by the New Zealand Government in response
to Covid-19. On March 14, the New Zealand Government announced all passengers arriving into New Zealand must self-isolate for 14 days. This
was followed by the closure of the New Zealand border from March 20 to all but New Zealand citizens and permanent residents. In addition, New
Zealand entered Alert Level 4 lockdown from March 26 restricting domestic air travel to essential services only.
