August 2020 Monthly traffic update and September 2020 preview
-85.1%
Auckland Airport total passenger volumes decreased by 85.1% in August 2020 versus last year. International passengers (excl. Transits)
were down 97.0%, transit passengers were down 92.5% and domestic passengers were down by 71.7%.
Key Points:
• The decline in total passengers for August 2020 reflects the impact of the travel restrictions imposed by the New Zealand Government in response
to COVID-19. The closure of the New Zealand border from 20 March 2020 to all but New Zealand citizens and permanent residents has had a
significant impact on international services.
• Domestic passenger numbers in August 2020 were 55.1% down on July 2020 reflecting an increase in the country’s alert levels during the month.
On 12 August Auckland re-entered Alert Level 3 and the rest of New Zealand re-entered Alert Level 2. These changes resulted in Air New Zealand
reducing services to and from Auckland and Jetstar Airways suspending all its domestic services from 19 August 2020.
