The Association of Asia Pacific Airlines (AAPA) on Wednesday reiterated its call for governments to take urgent steps to lift onerous travel restrictions and reestablish global connectivity after the region’s carriers posted predictably dismal passenger and cargo results in September.

According to recently released AAPA traffic data, Asia-Pacific airlines carried a meager 1.1 million international passengers last month, or just 3.6 percent of the 30 million it flew over the same period in 2019. Offered seat capacity was relatively high at 11 percent of the levels operated last year, while internal load factor was a dismal 31.7 percent.
