4.7 billion passengers are expected to use airports globally in 2024 according to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), with cargo traffic using those airports also growing at a rapid 4.5% per annum, bolstered by the boom in e-commerce. These numbers underscore aviation's pivotal role in the global economy and show how airports have rebounded from the pandemic slump. However, not all airports are growing or performing at the same level, with the gap between the top-performing airports and the rest growing since the pandemic in some cases.
Regions are experiencing varying levels of growth, and while there are many complex factors responsible for these variations, there is also the compounding challenge of industry decarbonization and achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. This requires the introduction of advanced fuel-efficient technologies and sustainable aviation fuels, and it all must be underpinned by significant technological innovations that enhance operational efficiency and improve the passenger experience. This report is designed to provide you with insights to unlock better decision-making with normalized industry data.
