KEY POINTS
This month, global capacity is expected to reach 423.3m, just 14.2% behind June 2019
This represents a continued steady increase month on month, with capacity now 6.7% higher than in May 2022, which equates to an increase of 26 million seats.
This is largely being driven by capacity in North East Asia (primarily China) where there is a gradual reopening after ongoing lockdowns in Shanghai and other cities.
Europe continues to see strong growth this month and Western Europe in particular is just 11.7% behind 2019.
There are still just 4 regions which have seen capacity exceed 2019 levels – Central/Western Africa, Central Asia, Central America and Upper South America.
