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.
