AsiaPac passenger traffic up in February

Beijing leads the highest passenger growth at 5.9 million in the region.

The latest report by Air Council International and Freight Flash Reports show that airports in the Asia-Pacific area recorded a 7.7% increase in passenger traffic in February 2012 comparing to February last year while the Middle East area showed a year-on-year increase of 10.9%.

Jakarta and Abu Dhabi are the two airports in the region with the strongest passenger traffic growth, achieving a remarkable result of year-on-year increases of 27.3% and 24.5% respectively in terms of passenger number.

Beijing continued to record the highest passenger throughput in this region, with over 5.9 million passengers. The other 4 airports closely following are Tokyo Haneda with 5.1 million passengers, Bangkok, Jakarta and Dubai, all recorded over 4.2 million passengers in February 2012.

Year-to-date results on passenger traffic for Asia-Pacific area was +8.4% and +10.4% for the Middle East area.

As for air freight traffic, Asia-Pacific airports have recorded a significant year-on-year increase of 13.8% in February 2012 but this is somewhat distorted by the fact that the Chinese New Year holidays, which usually caused a drop in freight traffic, was in January this year but February last year. The year-to-date decrease of 1% depicted a more realistic picture on the air freight traffic in the Asia-Pacific area.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
