August 2022 Monthly traffic preview
68%
of pre-COVID
equivalent
In August 2022, total passenger volumes at Auckland Airport were 68% of the pre-COVID equivalent
2
in the financial year to 30
June 2019, the last full year not impacted by the COVID pandemic. International passengers (excl. transits) were 54% of the pre-
COVID equivalent in August 2018 with transit passengers and domestic passengers at 48% and 84% respectively.
Key Points:
• The international passenger recovery continued in August with passenger movements for the month recovering to 54% of the pre-COVID
equivalent, an increase from 50% in July 2022. Compared to the prior month, passenger movements were marginally down in August reflecting
the school holidays falling in the month of July;
• Short-haul international passenger movements are 66% of the pre-COVID equivalent, with Australia 65% and Pacific Islands 70%. Cook Islands
is still proving popular recovering to 96% compared to August 2018 and Fiji at 86%. Long-haul international passenger movements were 36% of
pre-COVID equivalent. Excluding countries with more restrictive border policies in place (China, Japan, Hong Kong) the recovery is 52%;
• Domestic passenger movements in August 2022 are 84% of the pre-COVID equivalent, with a slight decrease of 4% compared to July 2022; and
• Queenstown once again is proving popular with domestic passenger movements 106% of August 2018 and international passengers 98%.

the table below now refers to the current period volumes as a percentage of the pre-COVID equivalent
2
, rather displaying the percentage variance to the prior year.
