Wednesday, February 01, 2006
The preliminary results showed the number of international passengers carried by
AAPA members topped 128 million for the whole of 2005, an increase of +5% or 6.1 million passengers. In terms of revenue passenger kilometers (RPKs), passenger traffic rose by +5.1%. Capacity expanded by +4.6%, resulting in an improvement of +0.4% percentage point in passenger load factor, to 73.3% for 2005.
For the month of
December, the number of passengers carried grew by only +0.9% year-on-year, to 11.0 million. RPKs rose by +2.4% on capacity growth of +2.1, causing December’s passenger load factor to gain +0.2 percentage point, to 73.7%.
Commenting on the figures,
Mr. Andrew Herdman, AAPA’s Director General, said:
“AAPA member airlines as a group set new records international passenger in 2005, despite the dampening effect of high oil prices. The number of international passengers reached 128 million for the year, a growth of 5%. The outlook for Asia Pacific’s aviation industry in 2006 remains fairly positive, although the burden of high oil prices on the global economy remains a concern.”
