IATA: Air travel recovery accelerates in February
Air travel posted a strong rebound in February 2022 compared to the previous month, as Omicron-related impacts moderated outside of Asia, according to the International Air Transport Association (IATA).
The war in Ukraine, which began on 24 February, did not have a major impact on traffic levels.
Total traffic in February 2022 (measured in revenue passenger kilometers or RPKs) was up 115.9% compared to February 2021.
Compared to February 2019, however, traffic was down 45.5%.
February 2022 domestic traffic was up 60.7% compared to the year-ago period, building on a 42.6% increase in January 2022.
“The recovery in air travel is gathering steam as governments in many parts of the world lift travel restrictions. States that persist in attempting to lock-out the disease, rather than managing it, as we do with other diseases, risk missing out on the enormous economic and societal benefits,” said Willie Walsh, IATA’s Director General.
