Despite the macroeconomic uncertainty, air travel bounced back strongly in 2022. According to an International Air Transport Association (IATA) survey, revenue passenger kilometers (RPK) rose 64.4% year-over-year in 2022.
IATA Director General Willie Walsh said, “The industry left 2022 in far stronger shape than it entered, as most governments lifted COVID-19 travel restrictions during the year, and people took advantage of the restoration of their freedom to travel.”
