Melbourne Airport passenger traffic continues ascent
Melbourne Airport passenger traffic continued its progression towards a full post-pandemic recovery.
It handled 30 million travellers in the 12 months to June 2023
That represents 82% of the 37.4 million passengers in the 2019 financial year.
It comprised more than 22.5 million domestic passengers and almost 8.3 million international travellers.
Melbourne Airport handled 19,038 passenger and cargo flight movements in June, surpassing the 2019 monthly figure for the first time.
The school holidays helped set a new post-pandemic high for international travel, with 825,480 passengers in June
“We have worked very hard alongside the Victorian State Government to ensure Melbourne is front of mind for airlines,” airport CEO Lorie Argus said.
Argus says major airlines such as United, Qatar Airways and Singapore Airlines are now flying more seats into Melbourne than before the pandemic.
“Capacity to key markets such as India and Vietnam is also much higher than in 2019.”
