ACI World: La creciente demanda de pasajeros obliga a los aeropuertos a invertir en más capacidad

Montreal, 3 de junio de 2018 – El Consejo Internacional de Aeropuertos (ACI World) ha advertido hoy que cualquier intento desproporcionado de regular o inhibir la inversión privada adecuada en los aeropuertos podría obstaculizar gravemente la respuesta de la industria de la aviación a la creciente demanda de capacidad adicional de servicios aéreos.

Con la previsión de que el número mundial de pasajeros se duplicará para 2030, las partes interesadas de la industria de la aviación están de acuerdo en que la inversión en infraestructura aeroportuaria es fundamental para la economía mundial y la conectividad mundial, especialmente para alcanzar los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (SDG).

ACI tiene una posición neutral en cuanto a la propiedad de los aeropuertos. La inversión privada ha sido una opción exitosa para los aeropuertos de Australia, México, Brasil, Japón, India y muchos países europeos y, en los últimos cinco años, ACI estima que los aeropuertos con participación del sector privado invirtieron un 14% más en proyectos de capital en comparación con sus contrapartes públicas y un 12% más que el promedio mundial.

De hecho, aunque los aeropuertos con participación del sector privado sólo representan, según las estimaciones, el 14% de los aeropuertos de todo el mundo, estos aeropuertos gestionan más del 40% del tráfico mundial

Airports Council International releases 2015 World Airport Traffic Report

Captura de pantalla 2016-09-09 a las 17.58.28Montréal, 9 September 2016 – Airports Council International (ACI) has released the 2015 ACI World Airport Traffic Report. With comprehensive data coverage for over 2,300 airports in 160 countries worldwide, ACI’s flagship publication remains the authoritative source and industry reference for the latest airport traffic data, rankings and trends on air transport demand.
Global analysis
Persistence and resilience are two themes that best describe air transport demand in 2015. The large increase in passenger traffic of 6.4% represents the strongest growth rate since 2010 (6.6%), the year in which it rebounded from the Great Recession. In fact, despite a slight weakening of economic growth at 3.1% in 2015, growth in passenger traffic approached the pre-recessionary growth levels that were seen in 2004 to 2007. International tourism in particular was irrepressible in 2015, even considering the geopolitical risks that persisted in certain parts of the world, such as Eastern Europe and the Middle East. By and large, the international traveller appears to have discounted these risks. Air cargo markets were weaker compared with passenger markets, achieving a modest 2.6% growth in total volumes for 2015. This was the result of subdued growth in emerging markets and developing economies, coupled with a more modest recovery in advanced economies.
World’s busiest airports
While there were 16 airports with over 40 million passengers in 2005, this number has more than doubled and risen to a total of 37 airports by 2015. Collectively, the club of airports has achieved a growth of 6% year-over-year in passenger traffic for 2015. This level of growth is unprecedented, particularly since a majority of the airports in this category are from the typical mature markets of North America and Europe. After years of consolidation and capacity discipline on the part of US-based airlines, North America has experienced an important resurgence in air transport demand, particularly at many of its large hubs. Where physical capacity and infrastructure could accommodate, the so-called mature market’s recent upsurge in traffic are further Continuar leyendo «Airports Council International releases 2015 World Airport Traffic Report»
