Pretty easy to do when it was very low to begin with.

Good how percentages can work.

25% would be comparable to an nice exponential increase.

Here they come.

Billions of Trillionaires waiting to land in BKK and spend their fortune at the high-end  shopping malls, enjoying lobster and an expensive bottle of wine.

Would increase the the "shot gun" from 4 to 5 cm????

[cheapcanuck]

Adding one extra flight a day would increase traffic by 25%.

Overflights???  You're really grasping when you have to include planes not even landing to make the numbers look not so dismal.

[tomyami]

overflights dosent mean landing but this will continue to increase as more aircraft get back to flying.

The arrivals and departure figure wont see any increase under current restriction aimed to keep tourists out of thailand especially while the chinese cant travel.

Of course it was low, the country has been effectively shut. 
 

They have to start from somewhere. 
 

Right on K ???? Bl..dy world has been all but closed and people (maybe not the other Poster?) seem to have this bizarre idea that a return to pre-covid behaviour and movement should be almost instantaneous. For goodness and sane thinking sakes! It will take time for systems and organisations to adapt and reboot. It's not a childlike thinking i.e. I want it to be a certain way and it should, just, immediately, magically be that.

I wonder what the relevance of overflights is to this "statistic".

Logically, that's when many carriers expect to be bouncing back into full gear worldwide. 

It's already a bit of a industry understanding. 

No doubt they were saying that about Q2 2021 this time last year.

 

[brucegoniners]

25 whole percent?

[bangon04]

I wonder how many "overflights" are being detected in Afghanistan these days....

[roxnadz]

Thing of it is, if Thailand actually were to scrap this silly quasi-reopening scheme, the air traffic numbers wouldn't have to be explained away!

I don't think it was negative at all. Just being factual, the same as stating a 25% increase. It is just a fact, there has been a 25% increase and it is nothing to get excited about or depressed about. 

The important and interesting thing is what happens over the next two years.

It will be a very slow climb back - two years or ten years. 

Yet, the Thais will adjust to whatever is thrown their way.

Yes, they always do.
