SINGAPORE, 2 JUNE 2025: The International Air Transport Association (IATA) released data for April 2025 global passenger demand, showing total demand, measured in revenue passenger kilometres (RPK), was up 8.0% compared to April 2024.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Total capacity, measured in available seat kilometres (ASK), was up 6.5% year-on-year. The April load factor was 83.6% (+1.1 ppt compared to April 2024).<\/p>\n\n\n

International demand rose 10.8% compared to April 2024. Capacity was up 8.5% year-on-year, and the load factor was 84.1% (+1.7 ppt compared to April 2024), the highest ever for April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Domestic demand increased 3.3% compared to April 2024. Capacity was up 3.1% year-on-year. The load factor was 82.7% (+0.1 ppt compared to April 2024).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“April was a positive month for travel. Growth strengthened, especially for international demand, which saw record load factors for the month. The return of the transatlantic market to growth is particularly encouraging. But there are some signs of fragility of consumer and business confidence with continued weakness in the US domestic market and a sharp fall in North American premium class travel,\u201d said IATA\u2019s Director General Willie Walsh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs we gather in New Delhi, India for the 81st IATA Annual General Meeting and World Air Transport Summit, it is notable that Indian domestic growth is running at over 10%. The development of India\u2019s air connectivity in recent years has been nothing short of phenomenal, making this year\u2019s gathering a timely and powerful reminder for all on how aviation connectivity drives growth and development,\u201d said Walsh.<\/p>\n\n\n
