Airport Traffic

ACI Asia-Pacific continues to monitor the impacts of COVID-19 on traffic and connectivity. Weekly trending of passenger volume up to the begining of June in 2022 for both Asia-Pacific and the Middle East shows a mild declining trend. Although some markets have been opening their borders and relaxing entry restricitions for foreigners, the positive impacts have been offset by ongoing social restrictions and domestic lockdowns in major markets such as China. Additionally, geopolitical crisis in eastern Europe and the subsequent impacts on macroeconomic factors have negatively affected the supply and demand for air travel. In aggregate, passenger volume for week 23 (week ending on 5 June 2022) was at -62% compared to the same period in 2019.
