Consistent growth in air travel is the driving factor for air passenger traffic in North America
- North America's vast landmass and diverse destinations make it a popular choice for millions of passengers who choose to fly both domestically and internationally. Factors such as a growing economy, increased affordability of air travel, and a rising middle class have contributed to a significant uptick in air passenger traffic. Air passenger traffic in the United States reached 1.04 billion in 2022, up by 7% compared to 2021 and 12% compared to 2019. In 2022, from January through December, US airlines carried 853 million passengers, up from 658 million in 2021 and 388 million in 2020. The total number of passengers carried by airlines in Canada reached 107 million in 2022, surpassing the levels in 2021 by 6%. In 2022, Mexico had 100 million air passenger traffic, representing a 7% growth compared to its 2021 traffic levels. North America has benefitted from fewer and shorter-lasting travel restrictions than many other countries and regions. This has boosted domestic travel in the large home market, as well as international travel. Net profits in the region are expected to rise from USD 9.9 billion in 2022 to USD 11.4 billion in 2023.
- To cater to the demand driven by air passenger traffic, various airlines in the region are planning to procure new aircraft. For instance, around one-third of global aircraft deliveries in 2023 were anticipated to be received by various carriers in North America. Although the region’s aircraft deliveries were already above 2019 levels in 2022, they were expected to grow by an additional 72 units in 2023. Overall, with consistent air travel, the region's air passenger traffic is expected to increase by 1.7 billion in 2030 compared to 1.2 billion recorded in 2022.

Rising economic stability, particularly in the United States, is expected to support North America's GDP per capita growth
- The United States is a developed country and has the world's largest nominal GDP and net wealth. Real GDP increased by 2.1% in 2022, compared to 5.9% in 2021. The increase in real GDP in 2022 primarily reflected increases in consumer spending, exports, private inventory investment, and non-residential fixed investment that were partly offset by decreases in residential fixed investment and federal government spending. The rise in most sectors is expected to eventually boost the region's GDP per capita and, hence, support the air transport industry. North America has the highest continental GDP per capita by both GDP Nominal and PPP in the world. In 2022, the United States had the highest GDP per capita in the region at USD 76,350.
- In 2022, Canada's real gross domestic product (GDP) grew by 3.8%. Oil and gas extraction (except oil sands) decreased by 1.6% in December, primarily due to lower-than-seasonal growth in oil extraction in the month after strong offshore production. Winter storms had a significant impact on air and railway transportation in December. The month saw a 2.3% decrease in air transportation, the first such decrease since January 2022.
- Mexico has solid macroeconomic institutions, is open to trade, and has a diversified manufacturing base connected to global value chains. The Mexican economy grew by 3.1% in 2022, after a bounce-back of 4.7% in 2021 and an 8.0% fall in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The economy has recovered its employment and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) pre-pandemic levels. Mexico's stable macroeconomic framework, the US dynamism, and solid manufacturing base will support economic growth.
