January 2021 Monthly traffic update and February 2021 preview
-71.8%
Auckland Airport total passenger volumes decreased by 71.8% in January 2021 versus last year. International passengers (excl. transits)
were down 97.6%, transit passengers were down 97.0% and domestic passengers were down by 30.7%.
Key Points:
• The decline in total passengers for January 2021 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.
• Quarantine-free one-way travel to Australia was permitted to New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory, the Northern Territory and Victoria,
with Queensland opening on 7 January 2021. However, the Australian Government suspended quarantine-free travel to Australia from New
Zealand on 25 January for six days following active cases within the New Zealand community.
• Quarantine-free travel for Cook Islanders from Rarotonga to New Zealand commenced on 21 January 2021.

February 2021 Monthly traffic update preview
-71.0%
Auckland Airport total passenger volumes decreased by 71.0% in February 2021 versus last year. International passengers (excl.
transits) were down 96.9%, transit passengers were down 96.4% and domestic passengers were down by 41.4%.
Key Points:
• The decline in total passengers for February 2021 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.
• The Australian Government suspended quarantine-free travel to Australia from New Zealand on 15 February 2021 for six days following Auckland
entering Alert Level 3 lockdown and the rest of New Zealand entering Alert Level 2 for three days. Three Australian states (Queensland, Victoria,
and New South Wales) followed on by restricting travel bubbles with New Zealand and stopped all “green flights” coming from New Zealand on
24 February 2021.
• Domestic services in February 2021 were also impacted by further travel restrictions when Auckland re-entered Alert Level 3 at 11.59pm on
Sunday, 14 February 2021 for a period of three days and again at 6am on Sunday, 28 February 2021 for a period of seven days.
