Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Global air traffic ramped up by 31.2% year-on-year in October, according to the International Air Transport Association (IATA) data on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Total air traffic \u2013 measured in revenue passenger kilometers, or RPKs \u2013 almost caught up to its pre-coronavirus levels, reaching 98.2% of its October 2019 level.<\/p>\n

“October\u2019s strong result brings the industry ever closer to completing the post-pandemic traffic recovery,” said Willie Walsh, IATA\u2019s director general.<\/p>\n

Led by China’s triple-digit growth rate, domestic traffic surged 33.7% from a year ago in October. This was up 4.8% from its pre-virus level.<\/p>\n

International traffic increased 29.7% at an annualized pace in October, with all markets posting double-digit gains.<\/p>\n

Despite the strong hike, international RPKs could make only its 94.4% of October 2019 levels.<\/p>\n

“In particular, Asia Pacific carriers\u2019 international demand is 19.5% behind 2019. This could reflect the late lifting of COVID-19 restrictions in parts of the region as well as commercial developments and political tensions,” said Walsh.<\/p>\n

Global demand for air cargo, measured in cargo ton-kilometers, edged up by 3.8% compared to October 2022.<\/p>\n

Capacity \u2013 measured in available cargo ton-kilometers \u2013 rose 13.1% in the same period.<\/p>\n
