Global air passenger traffic seen at pre-pandemic levels within six months

Thursday, 16 Jan, 2023 0

Global air passenger traffic will reach pre-pandemic levels by June, says aircraft leasing company Avolon.

Asia, led by China, will drive growth in 2023.

One in every two seats of airline capacity now added is in Asia, according to Avolon’s 2023 Outlook.

A profit of $4.7bn is forecast for 2023 as pre-pandemic levels are reached by the middle of the year.

Although capacity is 25% below 2019 levels, revenues are just 13% lower.

“Reopening of the world’s second largest aviation market China will drive a rapid uptick in air passenger traffic,” says Avolon CEO Andy Cronin.

“Airlines are enjoying higher fares and load factors.”

“Challenges include limited aircraft availability and the need to make further progress on decarbonisation.”
