October 2023 Monthly traffic preview

20%
increase year on
year
For October 2023, total passenger volumes at Auckland Airport increased by 20% compared to October 2022 and were 86% of the
October 2018 pre-COVID equivalent, the last full year not impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. International passengers (excl.
transits) increased by 43% versus October 2022 and represent 87% of the October 2018 equivalent. Transit passengers were up
33% compared to October 2022, representing 71% of October 2018 equivalent. Domestic passengers for October 2023 increased
by 1% compared to October 2022 and represented 87% of October 2018 pre-COVID equivalent.

Key Points:
• International passengers (excl. transits) increased by 5% compared to the prior month. The recovery relative to pre-COVID levels decreased from
91% in September 2023 to 87% due to the timing of the New Zealand school holidays which started 23
rd
September this year compared with
almost all of the school holidays occurring within October in 2018, starting on 29
th
September;
• In late October, seasonal services from North America returned with Air Canada on Vancouver, American Airlines on Dallas (Los Angeles services
to resume in December 2023), and United Airlines on Los Angeles. Delta also commenced year-round Los Angeles services with daily services
until March 2024 and then decreasing to three per week during the New Zealand winter months;
• Passenger numbers on the mainland China route benefited from the Amway China distributor programme being held in New Zealand with close
to 10k passengers expected to visit over October, November, and December;
• Passengers on the domestic network increased by 1% compared to October 2022, with load factors remaining elevated on the domestic routes
compared to historic levels, at 87% across the entire network during October 2023. Demand on the Auckland to Wellington route is subdued
because of a reduction in Government related travel both during and post-election.. Auckland to Wellington route achieved a relative recovery of
82% compared to October 2018 whilst the three other trunk routes recovered to 89%;
• Total passenger movements on the domestic network increased by 23k on the prior month, but declined to 87% of the pre-COVID level;
• Queenstown Airport international passenger numbers increased 25% on the year prior and domestic passengers decreased 10% on the same
month last year.
