The demand for commercial air flights continues to soar, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) has revealed.
Global traffic data for November 2024 issued by IATA showed passenger demand is still rising, news portal Travel Mole reported.
IATA says total demand, measured in revenue passenger kilometres (RPK), was up 8.1% compared to November 2023.
Total capacity, in available seat kilometres (ASK), was up 5.7% year-on-year.
The November load factor was 83.4%, which is an all-time high for November.
International demand rose 11.6% compared to November 2023, while seat capacity was up 8.6% year-on-year.
IATA notes strong performance by carriers in Europe and Asia-Pacific which drove the double-digit expansion in demand.
“November was another month of strong growth," said IATA director general Willie Walsh."It was also another reminder of the supply chain issues that are preventing airlines from getting the aircraft they need to meet growing demand.”
