Skyscanner: Sydney, Bangkok, and Moscow airports should prepare for holiday surge
December 14, 2016
The festive period always drives an increase in travel and, consequently, busier travel hubs. But some of the world’s airports will experience a heavier than normal surge in passengers across the holidays, a Skyscanner study has revealed.
Based on Skyscanner’s search and booking data from passengers travelling between 20th December 2016 and 10th January 2017, the analysis shows that Sydney, Bangkok, and Moscow airports should be extra prepared for the additional footfall they will receive over the Christmas period. Australia’s busiest and largest airport should expect a massive 27% increase in visitors to and from the airport, compared with average visits throughout the year. Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi will also see a rush of travelers with a 26% increase on normal levels, while Moscow’s Sheremetyevo will witness a 26% spike.
