In collaboration with the Airlines Association of Southern Africa (AASA), we have tracked South Africa’s air traffic over several years. The model lists up to three-quarters of the current calendar year.
Notes:
- South Africa, like many markets, has a V-shaped traffic recovery.
- Page 2 shows a surge in traffic at CPT, the code for Cape Town, and DUR, the code for Durban. JNB (Johannesburg) shows a relative decline.
- Page 4 shows Durban with the highest number of passengers/flights. Durban and Cape Town are prime local vacation markets, and traffic peaks during the December holidays.
- Page 5 shows an interesting data point for international traffic – 2023 departures exceed arrivals for JNB and DUR – perhaps indicating emigration.
