February 2022 Monthly traffic preview


-19.9%

Auckland Airport total passenger volumes decreased by 19.9% in February 2022 versus February 2021 and were down 78.8%

compared to the pre-COVID equivalent in February 2019. Compared to February 2021, international passengers (excl. transits)

were up 56.4%, transit passengers were up 94.6% and domestic passengers were down by 24.8%.


Key Points:

• On 28 February 2022 the New Zealand Government announced the removal of home isolation requirements for all fully vaccinated inbound

international passengers from 2 March 2022, but at first with only New Zealanders and permanent residents permitted entry. The Government

has since signalled the possibility of allowing tourists from other countries into New Zealand earlier than current plan of July 2022 (visitors from

visa waiver countries) and October 2022 (visitors requiring a visa).

• There were an additional 14,159 international passengers in February 2022 compared to February 2021. Half of these additional international

passengers are attributable to travel to and from the Cook Islands, taking advantage of the quarantine free arrangement. The remainder of the

increase is attributable to another strong month of outbound international travel which increased by 59.1% compared to year prior.

• Transit passenger growth reflected mainly China to Australia passenger flows. Australia opened its border to students and VFR (visiting friends

and relatives) but with limited direct capacity between the China and Australia, passengers chose to travel indirectly via Auckland.

• Domestic demand was highest at the start of the month but gradually deteriorated when Omicron infections ramped up in the community. Overall

domestic passenger numbers fell 24.8% versus February 2021.
