Airports Council International releases 2015 ACI World Airport Traffic Dataset
Montreal, 4 July 2016– Airports Council International (ACI) has announced the release of the 2015 ACI World Airport Traffic Dataset (Excel version). Regarded as a key measure of air transport demand, this year’s release covers airport traffic statistics for the 2014 and 2015 calendar year for over 2,300 airports in 160 countries by three thematic areas: passengers, cargo (freight and mail) and aircraft movements. Data is presented by airport, city, country and region, and individual airport entries feature international and domestic breakdowns.
This ACI output is a precursor to the upcoming 2015 ACI World Airport Traffic Report (pdf), scheduled for release in mid-September and featuring an in-depth analysis of the information presented in the Dataset. Official traffic rankings of the world’s busiest airports will be released with the abovementioned report. ACI’s 2015 preliminary rankings may be viewed here. Both the Report and the Dataset remain the industry’s most authoritative sources for global airport traffic statistics and analysis of passenger, cargo and aircraft movements.
“The 2015 ACI World Airport Traffic Dataset and World Airport Traffic Report are based on the most comprehensive data coverage of the world’s major commercial airports,” notes Angela Gittens, Director General, ACI World. “More than ever, our members and other industry stakeholders require robust information and insightful industry analysis to inform their business decisions. These two outputs affirm ACI’s commitment to being the source for data and commentary on the business of airports.”
