Using data from its renowned InsightIQ intelligence platform, IBA’s new Aviation Industry Barometer will be published monthly, and provide a range of insights on international air traffic and commercial aircraft deliveries.
 
The first Aviation Industry Barometer, published today, contains data from January 2022. With each subsequent monthly Barometer, a mix of monthly and cumulative trends will be displayed, illustrating both the short and longer term health of the aviation industry.

IBA’s Aviation Industry Barometer for January 2022 indicates that:

  • The recovery of global passenger flights stalled in January 2022, remaining at the same level as the previous month of 74% of pre-pandemic levels.
  • Latin America is leading the recovery with flights at 89% of pre-pandemic levels.
  • Africa and Asia Pacific made the largest monthly progress in flight traffic recovery at 86% and 66% of pre-pandemic levels, with Africa bouncing back having been the first to be hit by the Omicron variant.
  • Contrastingly, Europe & CIS was hit hard by the new variant in January 2022, with monthly passenger flight utilisation down by 10% month on month to 66% of pre-pandemic levels.
  • Overall, there were 1,999,079 commercial passenger flights in January 2022, down 6% from 2,132,321 in December, which is traditionally a peak travel month due to the holiday season.
  • There were 65 commercial aircraft deliveries in January 2022, less than half of the level in December 2021, but 23% up compared to January 2021.
  • Deliveries of the Boeing 737 MAX outpaced the Airbus A320neo in January 2022 by 27 to 24.
  • There were five widebody deliveries in January 2022. Four of these were Airbus A350s, mostly being delivered to operators based in Asia Pacific and North America.
