HONG KONG, 18 April 2022: Despite Hong Kong’s strict Covid-19 rules limiting entry to just residents, passenger traffic during March reached a year on year increase of 61.3% at Hong Kong International Airport, according to the\u00a0Airport Authority Hong Kong (AAHK). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, passenger traffic continued to remain significantly\nlower than the pre-pandemic level in 2019. Meanwhile, cargo throughput and\nflight movements recorded during the month were 352,000 tonnes and 9,870,\nrespectively, representing year-on-year decreases of 11.4% and 7.3%,\nrespectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The growth in passenger throughput was mainly attributed to\nthe growth in Hong Kong residents\u2019 travel. During the month, departure\npassengers to Southeast Asia and Mainland China experienced the most significant\nincreases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cargo throughput has declined due to flight reductions since\nthe emergence of the Omicron variant of COVID-19. Exports and imports\nexperienced double-digit year-on-year declines compared to the same month last\nyear. Overall cargo to and from North America and Europe experienced the most\nsignificant decreases during the month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Over the first three months, passenger volume increased\n41.7% to 251,000. Cargo throughput and flight movements dropped by 9.2% and\n1.0% to 1 million and 30,210, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On a 12-month rolling basis, the airport handled 1.4 million\npassengers and 144,505 flight movements, recording a growth of 70.4% and 13.1%,\nrespectively. Cargo throughput rose 7.1% to 4.9 million tonnes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The HKSAR Government lifted restrictions on arrival flights\nfrom nine countries on 1 April. From 1 to 13 April, 251 flights carrying\npassengers operated at HKIA, representing an increase of 77 passenger flights\nfrom the 19 to 31 March period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, HKIA was ranked the World\u2019s Busiest Cargo Airport\nin 2021 by Airports Council International. HKIA handled 5 million tonnes of\ncargo, representing a 12.5% growth compared to 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
AAHK executive director commercial Cissy Chan said: “We\nare delighted that HKIA maintained its leading position as the World’s Busiest\nCargo Airport in 2021. The pandemic has had a serious impact on flight\noperations globally, but it has also generated high demand for e-commerce and\ntransportation of medical supplies. With the airport’s extensive freighter\nnetwork, high efficiency and dedicated cargo operators, we saw double-digit\ngrowth in cargo throughput during 2021. AAHK is confident in the long-term\ndevelopment of HKIA’s air cargo business and will continue to work closely with\nour business partners to enhance our performance.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
