Air traffic movements at Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) achieved a new monthly record since December 2013, with 33,285 movements which represents a 3.5% growth over the same period last year. Passenger traffic grew 3.6% to 5.6 million, and cargo throughput also showed strong growth of 8.3% to 370,000 tonnes.
The growth in July passenger traffic was mainly driven by 4% year-on-year growth in both Hong Kong resident and visitor traffic. Passenger traffic to and from North Asia and North America recorded the most significant increases.
For the first seven months of 2014, HKIA handled 36.4 million passengers, 2.5 million tonnes of cargo and 224,370 flight movements, representing year-on-year increases of 5.9%, 6.6% and 5.4%, respectively.
On a rolling 12-month basis, HKIA’s passenger volume grew 6.5% to 61.9 million, while cargo volume rose 5.1% to 4.28 million tonnes. Air traffic movements increased 5.8% to 383,620 year on year.
