The load factor was 83.7% (+0.3 ppt compared to November 2024), a record high for November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
International demand rose 7.7% compared to November 2024. Capacity was up 7.1% year-on-year, and the load factor was 84.0% (+0.4 ppt compared to November 2024).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Domestic demand increased 2.7% compared to November 2024. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Capacity was up 2.7% year-on-year. The load factor was 83.2% (unchanged compared to November 2024).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNovember 2025 saw continued strong demand for air travel with year-on-year growth of 5.7%. Load factors reached a new record of 83.7% for the month as airlines continued to satisfy growing passenger demand amid continuing capacity constraints stemming from challenges in the aerospace supply chain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe new year\u2019s resolution for the manufacturing sector must be to increase production to meet the needs of its airline customers. The backlog of more than 17,000 aircraft orders that we reached in 2025 must be reduced in 2026,\u201d said IATA\u2019s Director General Willie Walsh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
