“The power of China’s authorities to control mass movement over the Spring Festival period is vividly illustrated by the Ministry of Transport’s daily passenger numbers…The MOT’s daily PAX numbers cover each of the different modes of transport and they are cleverly aligned to compare each day’s travel data with exactly the same day in the Lunar cycle in both 2020 and 2019.

The results are stark.”

A patented forecasting system rerun every week.

Our airport passenger forecasts are created in-house on custom software, driving out projected passenger volumes for every airport in the world, international, domestic and total, arriving and departing, with full risk pricing.

Up until the end of 2019, we reran our air passenger forecasts every month as standard, drawing on hundreds of millions of lines of back data. In response to the effect of the pandemic, we now reforecast every week, to take in every shift.

Go Further

With actuals for every airport in the world back to 1991 you can go further, building rankings, context, priorities and trends.

“The present forecast simply postpones the European upturn until later in the year but with significant in-built caveats surrounding the likelihood of further restrictions… As governments roll out their immunisation programmes they are likely to move to positions of citizen and investment protection, arguing the need to restrict inbound travel in order to safeguard the un-vaccinated population and their investments in medication: vaccination thus becoming a double-edged sword.”

“The Travel Retail Index is formed of nine elements…It will change when government policies change and it is the contention of this briefing note that those policies will be vaccination-dependent though not always rationally constructed.

✓ the UK will be one of the main driving forces behind a European leisure travel recovery this summer…”

“Whilst these Hainan December statistics are extremely encouraging there is a note of caution for the situation in January. Weekly air passenger statistics from Hainan’s biggest airport, Haikou Meilan, are showing signs of considerable easing.

In each of the four weeks of January the airport’s passenger counts have been significantly down on last year and declining as the month progresses.”
