Air traffic to, from and within Mexico is still booming in 2015. Since we last looked at the Mexican market back in July passenger numbers have continued to grow at more than 10%. In each of the last four months, domestic traffic has grown by just under 15%. Domestic demand has now grown for 49 straight months.
International traffic has seen growth accelerate during the course of 2015. Early on it was around 7%, rising to 10% in April and May. Since then it has grown even faster, reaching 15% in August and then an extremely impressive 19% in September. This is the highest genuine growth rate recorded for international traffic since anna.aero started tracking Mexican traffic data in 2008. The four months in 2010 with faster growth were comparing with the period in 2009 when traffic had fallen dramatically because of the swine flu epidemic.
Breaking down the 19% growth in September between carriers from different regions reveals that Mexican carriers grew their passenger numbers by 29%, US carriers grew their passengers by 16% while all other carriers saw passenger numbers increase by 11%. Mexican carriers continue to gain market share in the international market. For the first time in many years the home carriers achieved more than 30% of total international traffic, reaching 32.5% in September.
