IATA Sees Airline Passenger Traffic Bouncing Back Strong
June 2022 showed strong recovery in international revenue passenger kilometers, even though staff shortage disruption has hit markets such as the UK.

Airline passenger traffic is showing a more robust recovery, with revenue passenger kilometers (RPKs) climbing by 76.2 percent in June, according to the latest data from the International Air Transport Association (IATA). The strong performance, reported against a backdrop of continuing operational disruption caused mainly by staff shortages in markets such as Europe, were the first post-Covid figures from the trade group that compared traffic levels with the same month in 2021 instead of the recent 2019 benchmark.
