Air passenger traffic expanded substantially in April, statistics released by Malaysian Aviation Commission today showed.
International traffic experienced a moderate increase of 1.9% m-o-m to 4.0 million passengers. Notably, passengers travelling to and from the Asean region increased by 4.4% m-o-m to 2.1 million, while non-Asean international traffic experienced a slight decrease of 0.7% m-o-m to 1.9 million passengers. Overall, international traffic represented 50.2% of the total passenger traffic in April.
The cumulative air passenger traffic from January to April 2024 reached 30.5 million, a 17% increase from 26.1 million passengers recorded over the same period in 2023. This growth was predominantly fuelled by a 39.4% increase in international air passenger traffic, which stood at 15.8 million, up from 11.4 million in the first four months of 2023, reflecting the industry’s recovery momentum and the restoration of international routes and frequencies. Domestic traffic slightly decreased by 0.
Mavcom executive chairman Datuk Seri Saripuddin Kasim stated, “The April 2024 air traffic figures indicate the ongoing recovery in the aviation sector. The resurgence of international traffic is a positive sign for the overall health of the global travel and tourism sectors, indicating that consumer confidence in air travel remains robust. We anticipate further acceleration in international travel, particularly with the 30-day visa exemptions for tourists from China and India.
