IATA:  Global passenger traffic rebounds in April despite Russia-Ukraine war
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Air travel resumed its strong recovery trend in April, despite the war in Ukraine and travel restrictions in China driven primarily by international demand, according to the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) report.

African airlines’ traffic rose 116.2% in April 2022 versus a year ago, an acceleration over the 93.3% year-over-year increase recorded in March 2022.

According to a statement availed to The Business Wiz (TBW), Total demand for air travel in April 2022 was up 78.7% compared to April 2021 and slightly ahead of March 2022’s 76.0% year-over-year increase. 

April domestic air travel was down 1.0% compared to the year-ago period, a reversal from the 10.6% demand rise in March.

This was driven entirely by continuing strict travel restrictions in China, where domestic traffic was down 80.8% year-to-year. Overall, April domestic traffic was down 25.8% versus April 2019.

International RPKs rose 331.9% versus April 2021, an acceleration over the 289.9% rise in March 2022 compared to a year ago.

Several route areas are actually above pre-pandemic levels, including Europe – Central America, Middle East – North America and North America – Central America. April 2022 international RPKs were down 43.4% compared to the same month in 2019.

“With the lifting of many border restrictions, we are seeing the long-expected surge in bookings as people seek to make up for two years of lost travel opportunities. April data is cause for optimism in almost all markets, except China, which continues to severely restrict travel. The experience of the rest of the world is demonstrating that increased travel is manageable with high levels of population immunity and the normal systems for disease surveillance. We hope that China can recognize this success soon and take its own steps towards normality,” said Willie Walsh, IATA’s Director General.
