July 2021 Monthly traffic update and August 2021 preview
59.7%
Auckland Airport total passenger volumes increased by 59.7% in July 2021 versus last year. International passengers (excl. transits)
were up 332.4%, transit passengers were down 84.8% and domestic passengers were up by 46.3%.
Key Points:
• The increase in total international passengers for July 2021 reflected the operation of trans-Tasman quarantine-free travel for most of the month,
albeit quarantine-free travel was progressively paused on a state by state basis throughout July 2021, followed by an 8 week suspension of the
entire Tasman Bubble on 23 July 2021.
• Domestic services for July 2021 were up on the prior year equivalent reflecting increased domestic activity due to school holidays and a boost
from international passengers transferring to domestic flights.
• Please refer to Appendix 1 for a comparison with pre-COVID July 2018.

August 2021 Monthly traffic update preview
68.4%
Auckland Airport total passenger volumes increased by 68.4% in August 2021 versus the prior year. International passengers (excl.
transits) were up 61.6%, transit passengers were down 94.3% and domestic passengers were up by 74.5%.
Key Points:
• The increase in total international passengers for August 2021 reflects more international airlines operating than in August 2020. But following a
community outbreak of the delta variant, New Zealand went into alert level 4 lockdown on 17 August 2021. This in effect suspended quarantine
free travel with Australia and the Cook Islands until further notice.
• Prior to the move to Alert Level 4, domestic services for August 2021 were up on the prior year reflecting increased domestic activity over the
peak winter season.
• Please refer to Appendix 2 for comparison with pre-COVID August 2018.
