Melbourne Airport passenger traffic grows

Friday, 16 May, 2023 0

Daily passenger traffic numbers at Melbourne Airport continued to grow in April.

It had an average of 90,350 people arriving or departing from the airport each day in April, up from 87,469 in March.

Overall, a total of 2.7m people used the airport in April which marks an increase of 20% on the same month in 2022.

However, the 1.93m domestic passengers processed in April was down slightly on the previous year.

It cites the impact of higher airfares cooling traveller demand.

International capacity continued to grow with Melbourne Airport, welcoming back Singapore Airlines’ Airbus A380 regular service.

“This is the flagship of Singapore Airlines’ fleet,” Melbourne Airport CEO Lorie Argus said.

“Singapore Airlines was one of the few carriers that stuck with Melbourne through the pandemic.”
