An AAL media release attributed the both increases in traffic to a combination of increased capacity and better load factors. “The commencement of Air Asia X and Jetstar this quarter is an important achievement for Adelaide Airport, with the introduction of these carriers bringing both low cost international travel to the Adelaide market and the option of a second carrier on several popular routes,” AAL Managing Director Mark Young said in a statement.
The only negative growth was in regional passenger numbers, falling 7.6 per cent from 318,000 to 294,000, which was primarily attributed to a reduction in resource industry traffic.
