Domestic demand increased by 4.3% compared to June 2023; capacity was up by 2.1% year-on-year and the load factor reached 85.0%, an increase of 1.7 percentage points compared to June 2023.

“Demand grew across all regions as the peak Northern summer travel season began in June," said Willie Walsh, IATA’s director general. "And with overall capacity growth lagging demand we saw a very strong average load factor of 85% achieved in both domestic and international operations." He added that operating with such high load factors is both beneficial and challenging, emphasizing the need for stakeholders to operate efficiently to minimize delays.

“As the Olympic Games unfold in Paris there is pride across the aviation industry for its continuing role in supporting the Olympic story by bringing many of the athletes, fans, and officials together," Walsh continued. "It is a great reminder of how aviation transforms our very big world into a global community."
