This report covers traffic at over 1100 of our member airports which handle a combined 95% of the world’s passenger movements. Together last year, airports handled nearly 4.4 billion passengers, a 5.1% increase on the previous year. Our Global Traffic Forecast suggests an average growth of around 4% for the next 20 years. Everyone in our industry needs to take note of these results and our long term forecast for contin- ued expansion. We must actively pursue both immediate and long-term capacity planning so that we can continue to offer high quality customer service that meets our goals for sustainability and environmental compatibility. What follows in this publication is a series of tables looking at the broader trends in the industry and then details from each of the 1100 airports that take part in the statistical analysis. We have also expanded the front section to provide a valuable commentary of regional and global trends from the 2006 year. This ACI World Airport Traffic Report is a companion piece to the ACI Economics Survey and ACI Global Traffic Forecast 2007 – together providing a rich source of information for those within the airport industry and the organisations that work with us every day. Libraries, universities, research organisations and statistical analysis groups also find this data an invaluable window on our industry.

Commercial passengers Revenue and non-revenue passengers arriving or departing via commercial aircraft and helicopters on a scheduled or non-scheduled flight. Direct transit passengers Passengers stopping temporarily at a designated airport and departing on an aircraft with the same flight number. They are counted only once. Cargo Cargo is freight + mail loaded and unloaded (arriving and departing) at the airport. Freight is any property carried on an aircraft other than mail, stores and baggage. Mail comprises closed bags handed over by the postal service, whatever their contents may be. Cargo does not include passenger baggage and trucked freight. International Traffic (passengers and freight) performed between the designated airport and an airport in another country or territory. Domestic Traffic (passengers and freight) performed between airports located within the same country or territory. 2 ACI WORLD AIRPORT TRAFFIC REPORT 2006 (REVISED) CONTENTS ANALYSIS 5 COUNTRY-BY-COUNTRY TRAFFIC data: BY REGION WORLD RANKING: PASSENGER MOVEMENTS 7 WORLD RANKING: AIRCRAFT MOVEMENTS 4 WORLD RANKING: CARGO TONNAGE 69 TOP 0: International passenger MOVEMENTS 9 TOP 0: INTERNATIONAL FREIGHT MOVEMENTS 92 DATA SECTION: DATA FROM ALL AIRPORTS, BY AIRPORT 9 WORLD AND REGIONAL TRENDS: GRAPHS SHOWING TRENDS Back of publication ACI WORLD AIRPORT TRAFFIC REPORT 2006 (REVISED) 2006 headline figures: • Total passengers handled by airports was up 5.1% to 4.4 billion • Fastest growing region was Asia Pacific at +9.7%, followed by the Middle East at 8.6% • Total aircraft movements handled by airports was 72.2 million, an increase of 1% from previous period • Total cargo tonnes handled increased by 3.8% to 85.5 million • Three quarters of airports worldwide had positive passenger growth in 2006.
