Global air passenger demand continues to surge, with latest figures showing a 10% year-on-year increase in passenger volumes in January, and a record load factor of 82.1%.
The monthly International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures show a 12.4% year-on-year rise in international flight demand and a 6.1% rise in domestic flight demand.
“We’ve seen a notable acceleration in demand this January, with a particularly strong performance by carriers based in the Asia-Pacific region. The record high load factors that accompany this strong demand are yet another reminder of the persistent supply chain issues in the aerospace sector,” said Willie Walsh, IATA’s Director General.
