Passenger growth reaching 10% in Asia-Pacific and Middle East for Q1 2016; air freight signaled mixed results in both regions Passengers traveling through the Asia-Pacific and Middle Eastern airports in March 2016 grew by +6.7% and +10.4% respectively. For the first quarter, Asia-Pacific passenger traffic grew by +9.7% and the Middle East +10.2%. (Note: Cumulated Q1 2016 traffic growth was positively affected by the leap year, an extra day in February 2016). Overall for both regions, passenger traffic growth continued to be robust for the quarter. Strong economic growth in India stimulated domestic travel, resulting in top airports all posting strong increase: Delhi (DEL) +22.9%, Mumbai (BOM) +10.5%, Bangalore (BLR) +21.1%, Chennai (MAA) +11.9% and Hyderabad (HYD) +17.5%. In Singapore (SIN), fueled by robust growth in passenger traffic from Thailand, China and Malaysia, the airport recorded a gain of +9.9% and appeared to have regained confidence after a period of relatively slow growth since 2014. Elsewhere in the region, a number of airports also generated substantial gain for the quarter: Pusan (PUS) +26%, Bangkok Don Mueang (DMK) +23.1%, Kaohsiung (KHH) +21% and Doha (DOH) +20.4%. In terms of air freight volumes, for the month of March 2016, Asia-Pacific posted marginal increase at +1.3% whereas growth in the Middle East remained solid at +2.9%. For the quarter, Asia-Pacific showed a decline of -1% compared to the Middle East where growth was +4.4%. The results for the quarter are mixed in both regions. In the Asia-Pacific, growth was negatively impacted by the disruptions of US west coast sea ports that caused distortionary boost to air freight volumes in February 2015. Resulting in many Asia-Pacific freight hub suffering a decline from last year: Hong Kong (HKG) -3.5%, Incheon (ICN) -4.4%, and Narita (NRT) -10.2%. While some airports delivered significant growth: Delhi (DEL) +15.7%, Manila (MNL) +18.2%.

The exception is Doha (DOH) where growth was the highest at +20.3%.

Post-COP21, more airports than ever working to reduce their CO2 and impact on climate change the
ts s
signature of a partnership between the United Nations Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the carbon management programme, Airport Carbon during COP21, today we provide an update on the latest since then and detail some of the new entrants and by airports worldwide.
The Airport Carbon Accreditation programme certifies airports at 4 different levels of accreditation covering all stages of carbon management (Mapping, Reduction, Optimisation and Neutrality). It is independently administered, institutionally-endorsed¹ and has the support of the United Nation Environment Programme (UNEP), the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), the European Union (EU) and others. At this time, Airport Carbon Accredited status has been earned by a total of 157 airports across the world. Angela Gittens, Director General, ACI World commented “An impressive 2 billion air passengers now travel through airports certified at one of the 4 levels of the programme equivalent to 33% of global air passenger traffic. With over 100 airports now engaged in Airport Carbon Accreditation, Europe is in the lead on carbon management, but other parts of the world are ramping up their efforts as can be seen from the strong momentum in Asia-Pacific and North America and growing interest in Latin America & Caribbean and Africa. Airport Carbon Accreditation is clearly empowering airports across the world to address their impact on climate change.” ASIA-PACIFIC KEEPS RISING There are now 31 airports certified in Asia-Pacific and most recently, Gimpo international Airport became the 10th airport to reach Level 3 Optimisation. In parallel, Hong Kong International Airport became the first one in the region to successfully renew its certification for 3 years. The airport was already the first in the region to be certified at Level 3 Optimisation (in 2013), having successfully reduced its own CO2 emissions and engaged 45 companies on the airport site to do the same. At last month’s ACI Asia-Pacific 11th Regional Assembly, Conference & Exhibition in
Gold Coast, Australia, Sharjah International Airport received recognition for its successful move from Level 1 Mapping to Level 2 Reduction while Queen Alia International Airport (Amman) also achieved an upgrade in its status in the programme, moving up to Level 3 Optimisation. Patti Chau, Regional Director ACI Asia-Pacific commented “Five years ago, Airport Carbon Accreditation was extended to the Asia-Pacific region. Since then, we have embarked on the journey towards carbon neutrality with our members. Today, we are proud to have 31 Asia-Pacific airports accredited at various levels of the program, representing more than 26% of passenger traffic in the region. I encourage more members to become Airport Carbon Accredited and demonstrate our airports’ dedication to sustainable growth.” Recent new entrants include Taoyuan International Airport at Level 2 Reduction. Meanwhile Vinci Airport‘s 3 airports in Cambodia Phnom Penh International Airport, Siem Reap International Airport and Sihanoukville International Airport and Doha’s Hamad International Airport all recently started their journey to active carbon management, becoming accredited at Level 1 Mapping. In all, the 31 certified airports in the Asia-Pacific region currently account for 26.9 % of air passenger traffic in Asia-Pacific. >> Back to Top
