defined as cities with more than 10,000 daily international long-haul passengers - rising from 90% (0.9 million passengers a day) today to 95% (2.3 million passengers a day) by 2034. Aviation mega-cities are "centres of urbanisation and wealth creation" and will increase from 47 to 91 cities by 2034 with 35% of global GDP centred there. These mega cities are "already served well by air transportation and the existing route network will accommodate 70% of all traffic growth between now and 2034". [more - original PR]

Long-haul traffic will increasingly be to, from or between aviation mega-cities*, rising from 90% (0.9 million passengers a day) today to 95% (2.3 million passengers a day) by 2034. Aviation mega-cities are centres of urbanisation and wealth creation and will increase from 47 to 91 cities by 2034 with 35% of World GDP centred there. These mega cities are already served well by air transportation and the existing route network will accommodate 70% of all traffic growth between now and 2034.

According to European aircraft manufacturer Airbus, the number of what it defines as ‘aviation mega-cities’ [those with more than 10,000 daily long-haul (≥ 2,000 nautical miles) international passengers] is set to more than double from 42 in 2012 to 89 by 2032 (see charts).

That will push up the number of daily long-haul passengers from today’s 0.8m to 2.2m within 20 years. Airbus also notes that while 92% of long-haul traffic currently goes to/from the 42 mega-cities today, by 2032 that will rise to 99%, indicating that there will be a concentration of aviation power – and retail focus with it – in these locations.
