Aviation News – New global passenger demand data released by the association for April 2024, revealed the ongoing strength of the market.<\/p>\n

It showed total demand, measured in revenue passenger kilometers (RPKs), was up 11% compared to April 2023. Total capacity, measured in available seat kilometers (ASK), was up 9.6% year-on-year. The April load factor was 82.4% (+1ppt compared to April 2023).<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, international demand rose 15.8% compared to April 2023; capacity was up 14.8% year-on-year and the load factor improved to 82.2% (+0.7ppt on April 2023).<\/p>\n

African airlines saw an 15.5% year-on-year increase in demand. Capacity was up 10.4% year-on-year. The load factor rose to 73.0% (+3.2ppt compared to April 2023).<\/p>\n

While Middle Eastern airlines saw a 14.2% year-on-year increase in demand. Capacity increased 9.9% year-on-year and the load factor increased +3.0ppt to 79.3% compared to April 2023.<\/p>\n

\u201cPassenger demand has been growing for 36 consecutive months. As we enter the peak northern summer travel season, there is every reason to feel optimistic for a strong summer with airlines offering a wide range of travel options. 97% of passengers asked in our recent survey said they were satisfied with their last flight. Every part of the travel value chain needs to be focused on maintaining that,\u201d said Willie Walsh, IATA\u2019s director general.<\/p>\n

The IATA Passenger Survey also revealed 88% agreement that \u2019air travel makes my life better\u2019.<\/p>\n

Walsh added: \u201cThat\u2019s an important motivation as our members gather for the IATA Annual General Meeting and World Air Transport Summit in Dubai next week. This strong endorsement of the power of air connectivity to transform lives and boost economies brings with it a challenge that will also be on the minds of all attending. It is critically important that we achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050 so that people can continue to rely on all the benefits of air travel.\u201d<\/p>\n
