Sydney Airport (ASX:SYD) has released their traffic performance review for June 2021. Total passenger traffic in June 2021 recorded 989,000 passengers, down 70.9 per cent from the corresponding period in 2019.

Prior to this suspension, trans-Tasman passenger traffic had returned to more than 40 per cent of the corresponding period in 2019.
