Global air passenger traffic continued its strong recovery in November, according to IATA.
Total traffic in revenue passenger kilometres rose 41.3% year-over-year.
Globally, traffic is now at 75.3% of November 2019 levels.
Asia-Pacific was the strongest November performance.
Overall, 2022 international RPKs were 73.7% of 2019 levels.
IATA called out the ‘science politics’ of reintroducing Covid tests for travellers from China.
It ‘can do little to contain a virus that is already present worlwide,’ IATA said.
“Governments should focus on available tools to manage Covid-19 effectively,” said Willie Walsh, IATA Director General.
