She said: “According to the latest ACI World Airport Traffic Forecasts global passenger traffic is expected to double to 16.97 billion by 2034. This is based on a projected growth rate of 4.3 per cent per annum and to 20.9 billion passengers by 2040, based on a 4.1 per cent compounded annual growth rate.
