people and markets

•Tourism is New Zealand’s largest export industry and directly employs 8.4%

of New Zealand's workforce

[1]

and airfreightcarries16% of exports and

22% of imports

•Auckland International Airport is New Zealand’s key international port with

75% of all international travel in New Zealand originating from Auckland

•Channel is a key supply route for jet fuel to Auckland International Airport

which accounts for 80% of New Zealand’s jet fuel demand

Jet fuel demand is forecast to increase c.50% by 2050 driven by:

by 350 million households in the next 10 years. There is a strong correlation

between household income and propensity to travel

•Growinge-commence and evolving supply chain networks are anticipated

to grow demand for cargo freighters
