Key Findings
  • •Air-travel intensity varies by orders of magnitude, from near-zero in fragile/conflict states to several thousand per 1,000 people in highly connected economies.
  • •Small aviation hubs can exceed 10,000 passengers per 1,000 people because transit passengers are counted relative to a small resident population.
  • •Post-2020 recovery effects make 2022 patterns differ from pre-pandemic baselines, with uneven rebounds across regions.
