  • FUTURE GROWTH

    ACI World estimates that 2024 will be the first year for global passenger volume to fully recover and surpass 2019 levels, reaching 9.5 billion passengers (104% of 2019). In its early 2023 short-term forecast, ICAO predicted that most route groups would return to or exceed pre-pandemic levels by the end of 2023.

  • GROWING DEMAND

    While this was largely achieved, the overall recovery remained slightly below expectations, at 94% of 2019 levels, primarily due to underperformance in certain route groups, particularly those involving Asia and especially routes to and from China.

  • ICAO FORECASTS

    ICAO forecasts that global RPK will reach 8.8 trillion (101% of 2019) in 2024, with most routes recovering or exceeding pre-pandemic levels. By 2025, ICAO projects global RPK to rise to 9.4 trillion (108% of 2019), driven by the recovery of these lagging routes, further solidifying the overall market rebound.
