Feature Stories Passenger growth reaching 9% for Asia-Pacific and Middle East in H1 2016 Asia-Pacific delivered strong passenger traffic growth in June 2016 at +9.9% whereas Middle East grew at +3.4%, a slower pace reflecting the timing of Ramadan. For the first half of 2016 (H1), both regions maintained strength and generated an increase of +8.8% from last year. For passenger traffic in the Asia-Pacific, India continued its growth trajectory and sturdy domestic demand enabled significant gains in many of its airports in H1. Top runners include: Bangalore (BLR) +21.6%, Delhi (DEL) +21.5% and Hyderabad (HYD) +19.3%. In China, growth was led by Hangzhou (HGH) +13%, Kunming (KMG) +10.7% and Shanghai Pudong (PVG) +10.5%. Elsewhere in the region, passenger traffic in South Korea recovered from a sharp drop following the outbreak of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) in May 2015 and many airports generated large gains in June 2016. For instance, at Incheon (ICN), international and domestic passengers spiked +41.9% and +34.3% respectively in June 2016 alone. For the year-to-date, Busan (PUS) +23.6%, Jeju (CJU) +15.6% and Incheon (ICN) +13.7% delivered the highest increase in South Korea from last year. In the Middle East, Doha (DOH) and Muscat (MCT) were in leading positions reporting passenger traffic growth at +20.2% and +17.5% respectively for H1.

In terms of air freight, despite global trade growth remaining sluggish, in June 2016 Asia-Pacific and Middle East generated increase at +5.9% and +5.5% respectively. For the year to date, the result is mixed: Asia-Pacific grew marginally at +1% whereas Middle East maintained the momentum at +4.5%. The top freight hubs in the Asia-Pacific delivered either mild increase or decline in H1: Hong Kong (HKG) -0.8%, Shanghai (PVG) +1.7% and Incheon (ICN) 0%. Among its peers, Delhi (DEL) +10.5% generated the highest growth in the region. In the Middle East, while the largest hub Dubai (DXB) maintained solid growth in H1 at +4% and Doha (DOH) continued to expand at a fast pace at +20.4%, many airports in the region suffered a decline in air freight volume.

ACI preliminary passenger and freight statistics are based on a significant sample of airports that provide regular monthly reports to ACI. They represent approximately 60% of total passenger traffic and 70% of total freight traffic worldwide. Commentary, tables and charts are based on preliminary data submitted by participating airports and are therefore subject to change. Size categories refer to the annual passenger traffic (in the last 12 months)

Calling for Participation: Understanding The Impact of Future Airport Infrastructure Capacity on ATM Efficiency ACI is currently collaborating with ICAO on a task in the Working Group 2 - Airports and Operations, of ICAO CAEP (Committee on Aviation Environmental Protection). One of the aims of this task is to identify the impact of future airport capacity levels, based on FUTURE PLANNED NEW RUNWAY INFRASTRUCTURE, on the efficiency levels of the Global ATM system, including possible congestion based on the expected growth of aviation in the coming decades. ACI and ICAO would appreciate your support on this task and would encourage each airport member to participate in a short survey consisting of 6 questions. Please be assured that the information received will be treated confidentially and only aggregated data will be assessed at Group level. Please follow the instructions on the link: http://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/55X18/ >> Back to Top
ACI Asia-Pacific Welcomes New Staff Member The ACI Asia-Pacific Regional Office is pleased to announce that Vincent Wong has joined the team as Manager, People Development and Member Services in August 2016.
“I got interested in the aviation industry through living in different places such as
HK, Canada and UK. Having exposed to people with different culture and ethnic background, I have developed great curiosity in psychology. Since then, I have started my career in the area of human resources with specialization in people development, recruitment and talent management. Most of my works consist of regional coverage which requires me to travel frequently, meaning that I have greater exposure in many different airports. This experience has reinforced my interests in aviation management.” “I am fortunate to have joined ACI where I can have many interactions with our members across the region and in an industry I am passionate in. As Manager, People Development and Member Services, I will be working on the enhancement of ACI’s services to both our airport and WBP members. On the people development side, I will work closely with the Asia-Pacific Training & HR Committee to foster exchange of best HR practices and strengthen the bonding of airport members in tackling people related challenges in the industry (e.g. generation gap, technology advancement).” >> Back to Top
