Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Global air traffic in 2022 reached 68.5% of its pre-pandemic level, according to the International Air Transport Association (IATA).<\/p>\n

Air traffic \u2013 measured in revenue passenger kilometers, or RPKs \u2013 surged 64.4% from a year earlier in 2022, IATA data showed.<\/p>\n

“The industry left 2022 in far stronger shape than it entered, as most governments lifted COVID-19 travel restrictions during the year and people took advantage of the restoration of their freedom to travel,” Willie Walsh, IATA\u2019s director general, said in a statement on Monday.<\/p>\n

“This momentum is expected to continue in the New Year, despite some governments\u2019 over-reactions to China\u2019s re-opening,” Walsh added.<\/p>\n

International traffic jumped 152.7% from 2021, with RPKs reaching 62.2% of the 2019 level, according to IATA.<\/p>\n

According to the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), international tourism made 63% of its pre-virus level in 2022 despite doubling from a year ago.<\/p>\n

A total of 917 million tourists traveled internationally last year, up 101.6% from the previous year, the report UNWTO released last month showed.<\/p>\n

Domestic air traffic increased 10.9% year-on-year to 79.6% of the pre-pandemic level.<\/p>\n

Separate IATA data on Monday showed that demand for air cargo \u2013 measured in cargo ton-kilometers \u2013 decreased 8% on an annual basis in 2022. Compared to 2019, it was down 1.6%, both globally and internationally.<\/p>\n
