increase year on
year
For November 2023, total passenger volumes at Auckland Airport increased by 18% compared to November 2022 and were
87% of the November 2018 pre-COVID equivalent, the last full year not impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. International
passengers (excl. transits) increased by 31% versus November 2022 and represent 88% of the November 2018 equivalent.
Transit passengers were up 12% compared to November 2022, representing 69% of November 2018 equivalent. Domestic

COVID equivalent.

Key Points:
• International passengers (excl. transits) increased by 31% compared to November 2022 due to passenger numbers almost doubling on the
Asia network, led by pronounced recovery on the Chinese, Hong Kong, and Japan routes. The Americas route returned to pre-COVID levels
for the month with 104k passengers traveling. The market has been stimulated by the return of the North American airlines to Auckland with
six airlines serving mainland USA and Canada during November 2023;
• Short-haul international demand continues to improve, increasing 14% on the year prior, representing a 90% recovery relative to pre-COVID
levels. Increased airline capacity and improving load factors have resulted in passenger numbers to the Pacific Islands exceeding pre-COVID
levels at 102k in the month;
• Total passenger movements on the domestic network increased by 7% compared to November 2022 with a combined 14% increase on
Christchurch and Queenstown routes;
• Queenstown Airport international passenger numbers increased 18% on the year prior and domestic passengers increased 9% on the same
