Sydney Airport CEO Geoff Culbert said, "International passenger growth has driven our overall traffic performance throughout 2019 and this trend continued in November. The fastest growing foreign nationalities for the year to date are Indian (8.5%), American (7.8%) and Japanese (3.6%), representing a real mix of mature and emerging markets.

"November's domestic performance, down 0.3 percent on the prior corresponding period, was impacted by reduced domestic seat capacity.

"Looking ahead to next year, QantasLink are opening a new route between Mildura and Sydney in the first quarter, which will add 30,000 seats annually, and they're also bolstering their Bendigo-Sydney service with three new weekly return flights. Internationally, ANA will shift to double-daily flights between Sydney and Haneda around March 2020."

1. Due to data availability, all international passenger numbers (including prior corresponding period comparisons) are based on Confirmed Airline Passenger (CAP) data. As per previous information releases, these figures may contain estimates with any adjustments to preliminary statistics included in the year to date results in future months.
2. Includes Domestic-on-Carriage
