Abathwali bomoya bathuthe abakhweli abazizigidi ezibini ngaphantsi kwenyanga edlulileyo, ukuguqulela kwi-9.88 yezigidi xa kuthelekiswa ne-11.83 yezigidi ngonyaka odlulileyo. Umthwalo womthwalo wehla ngamanqaku angama-5.7 ukuya kuma-70.5 ekhulwini, nangona i-9.2 yepesenti yokunciphisa umthamo wezihlalo ezikhoyo. Kwiinyanga ezintandathu zokuqala zika-2009, izithuthi zabakhweli zizonke ziye zavakala nge-11.5 yeepesenti ukuba zifike kwi-63.8 yezigidi xa kuthelekiswa ne-72.1 yezigidi ngexesha elifanayo lika-2008.
Ummandla weAsia-Pacific ubonakala uchaphazeleka ngakumbi kunehlabathi liphela. Akunjalo nje ngenxa yokudodobala koqoqosho kwihlabathi liphela, kodwa nangenxa yokuthandabuza ngokwasengqondweni ukuhamba okuveliswe kukunqongophala kokhuseleko kwiindawo ezithile kunye nobungozi bempilo bomkhuhlane wehagu okanye intsholongwane ye-H1N1. Ngokwamanani amva nje, ubhubhane uguqulele kwiimeko ezingama-6,776 ze-H1N1 eThailand, ezingama-2,902 eHong Kong, ezingama-1,772 e-China PRC, ezingama-921 eMalaysia, ezingama-440 eVietnam kunye ezingama-239 eIndonesia [amanani ukusuka nge-22 kaJulayi]. Ngaphandle kwento yokuba ngaphezulu kweepesenti ezingama-96 zamatyala angoyiki ubomi, iipatheni zokuhamba zibonisa impembelelo.
Ngokuka-Andrew Herdman, umlawuli jikelele we-AAPA, "indawo yorhwebo yeenqwelo moya zase-Asia Pacific ihleli ingumceli mngeni omkhulu, kunye nokwehla okuthe kratya kwemfuno yabakhweli ebonisa ubuthathaka obuqhubekayo bezoqoqosho kunye namaxhala oluntu ngamaphulo karhulumente anxulumene nobhubhane womkhuhlane wehagu. Ngenxa yoko, asikawuboni umgangatho ngokwemfuno yabakhweli.”
Imisebenzi elusizi yabathwali abakhulu baseAsia, nangona kunjalo, ilungelelaniswa yimbonakalo eqaqambileyo yeenqwelomoya ezixabisa kancinci kulo mmandla. I-Tiger Airways isanda kunika ingxelo yokunyuka kwe-7.6 yepesenti ngonyaka-ngonyaka kwi-traffic kwikota yokuqala ka-2009 kunye nomthamo wezihlalo onyuke nge-11.4 ekhulwini lokunyuka kwamandla. Kwaye iqela le-AirAsia liyaqhubeka nokwandisa ngamandla. Izithuthi zabakhweli zinyuke ukusuka kuJanuwari ukuya kuMatshi ngepesenti ezingama-21 xa kuthelekiswa nowama-2008 kunye nengeniso eyongezelelekileyo ngama-33 epesenti.
