April 2021 Monthly traffic update and May 2021 preview


1,547.9%

Auckland Airport total passenger volumes increased by 1,547.9% in April 2021 versus last year. International passengers (excl.

transits) were up 114.0%, transit passengers were up 36.1% and domestic passengers were up by 5,586.3%.


Key Points:

• International arrivals in April last year (2020) were significantly impacted by the closure of the New Zealand border by the New Zealand

Government from 20 March 2020 in response to COVID-19 to all but New Zealand citizens and permanent residents. Domestic services in April

2020 were also impacted by travel restrictions, with New Zealand at Alert Level 4 until 11.59pm Monday 27 April 2020, and Alert Level 3 until

11.59pm Wednesday 13 May 2020.

• The increase in total international passengers for April 2021 reflects the impact of trans-Tasman quarantine free travel to and from Australia which

was operational from 11.59pm Sunday, 18 April 2021. The arrangement allows travellers who have been in New Zealand or Australia for 14 days

to cross the Tasman border in either direction without having to go into MIQ.

• Domestic services for April 2021 were also favourably impacted by trans-Tasman quarantine free travel transferring to domestic flights, combined

with additional travel around the country during public holidays for the Easter weekend from 2 April 2021 to 5 April 2021 and ANZAC weekend

from 24


April 2021 to 26 April 2021.
