KEY POINTS:
Domestic passenger volumes grew 16.5 per cent at Wellington Airport last month, majority owner Infratil said this week. The increase was largely due to the introduction of domestic services by Pacific Blue in mid-November, it said.
Year to date, domestic passengers were up 3.9 per cent above the previous year. International passenger number growth in December was up 2.6 per cent on the previous year, following a 1.5 per cent cut in seat capacity. Year to date growth was 4.6 per cent, with seats having fallen by 4.3 per cent.
