Sydney Airport (ASX: SYD) witnessed a decline in International and Domestic passenger during March 2019 as compared to the previous corresponding period (pcp). The decline in the passengers was mainly driven by the shift in the timing of both Easter and Lunar New Year which impacted both seat capacity and load factors. However, strong load factors on North American routes helped boost US traveller growth to 11%. International and Domestic passenger numbers declined 3.8% and 3.4% respectively on pcp. During the month of March, 3,652 passengers travelled through Sydney Airport which includes 2,333 domestic passengers and 1,319 international passengers.
