Transfer\/ transit passengers continued to drive overall passenger growth in August, recording a double-digit increase. Growth was mainly led by traffic with the Chinese Mainland and South Korea, while the decline in the Middle East moderated further.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"490\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ttrweekly.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-207.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-273613\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.4;width:490px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ttrweekly.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-207.png 490w, https:\/\/www.ttrweekly.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-207-300x214.png 300w, https:\/\/www.ttrweekly.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-207-100x70.png 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 490px) 100vw, 490px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Photo credit: HKIA.

On a 12-month rolling basis, passenger volume rose by 11.4% year on year to 65 million, while flight movements increased by 4.5% to 403,850.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cargo volume declined by 1.2% year on year to 422,000 tonnes in August 2026. Exports declined by 8.8% year on year, partially offset by 18.2% growth in transshipments and 3.6% growth in imports. Among key trading regions, Southeast Asia and the Chinese Mainland remained resilient, helping to cushion softer traffic with Europe and the Middle East amid evolving regional trade dynamics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From January to August this year, cargo traffic recorded year-on-year growth of 17% in the Chinese Mainland, 14% in Southeast Asia and 8% in Europe, offsetting declines in North America and the Middle East. Total cargo throughput over the eight months increased by 2.6% year on year to 3.34 million tonnes. On a 12-month rolling basis, total cargo traffic reached over 5.15 million tonnes, up 2.7% year on year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(Source: HKIA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HONG KONG 18 September 2026: Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) continued to record steady growth in August 2026, handling 5.86 million passengers and 34,995 flight movements, representing year-on-year increases of 3.5% and 0.5%, respectively.
