Thailand: AoT expects modest uptick in throughput
Passenger traffic through Thailand's 6 main airports during the New Year holiday is expected to grow at a more moderate rate, reflecting tamer travel sentiment. The Airports of Thailand (AoT) estimates passenger throughput at 2.69m between Dec 29 and Jan 4, up by 6.16% year-on-year to a daily average of 384,892. Passenger volumes are based on the assumption that an airline can fill 80% of available seats on each flight. Total throughput could soar past 3m if they manage to carry passengers at aircraft capacity. Aircraft movements are projected to rise by 9.82% in the period to 16,911, or a daily average of 2,416. Thailand's air travel in the festive season is going through a more subdued mood due partly to the local and global sluggish economic situation, the slowdown in Chinese arrivals and mourning for the late King. <br/>
