Using the DHS I-92 (APIS) data, we see some neat trends through June 2024. As noted before, this is a great resource and reports far more quickly than DoT.  Moreover, the I-92 census counts every passenger boarding a flight departing the United States.

  • The overseas airports are listed alphabetically
  • The green arrows highlight airports at high points since 2022
  • The orange arrows highlight airports lagging since 2022
  • The number of airports at high points signifies strong international traffic recoveries.

Two markets catch the eye.

Europe
Amsterdam (AMS) is interesting because of its decision to restrict flights. Note that Paris (CDG), Frankfurt (FRA), Munich (MUC), Madrid (MAD), and London (LHR) are peaking.  As Amsterdam loses, there are several alternatives. I’m happy to pick up the opportunity.

Mexico
Cancun (CUN) is lagging, and this is typically a big destination for US vacationers. Puerto Vallarta (PVR) also lags and is a big vacation spot, particularly for Californians. Los Cabos (SJD) is another Mexican airport with lagging traffic.  Mexico City (MEX) is doing well by comparison.  It would be interesting to understand what is happening here.  Has the violence caught the attention of US vacationers? It sure looks that way.
