As we stand on the cusp of the next decade, a clear imperative emerges for the aviation industry: substantial investment in infrastructure. The skies of the Asia-Pacific and Middle East are set to witness an unprecedented surge in passenger traffic, with projected annual growth rates of 7.8% and 8.1% respectively.
The year 2024 marked a new milestone for the aviation industry. Passenger traffic not only rebounded from the pandemic but also expected to have exceeded pre-pandemic levels, signaling a new era of growth. Asia-Pacific served an estimated 3.5 billion passengers or 3% increase over 2019, while the Middle East continued its upward trajectory, reaching an estimated 443 million passengers—a remarkable 9% growth over pre-pandemic levels.
Christchurch Airport has set a benchmark in sustainability by becoming the first airport in the Asia-Pacific and Middle East regions to achieve Level 5 status of Airport Carbon Accreditation (ACA), the pinnacle of the programme. This milestone not only highlights the airport's commitment to reducing carbon emissions but also the strategic approaches and innovative projects that have paved the way for this success.
