Following Hong Kong's relaxation of inbound travel and
transfer/transit requirements, all passenger segments – including
Hong Kong residents, visitors and transfer/transit passengers –
experienced significant year-on-year growth in June compared to
the same month last year. Passenger traffic to and from Southeast
Asia saw the largest increase.
Disruptions to global supply
chains caused by the pandemic and continuing geopolitical tensions
in Europe led to the overall decline in cargo volume. Exports
registered a year-on-year decrease of 10%. Cargo traffic to and
from key trading regions in Europe and North America saw the most
significant drops.
Over the first six months of the year,
HKIA handled 842,000 passengers, an increase of 121.7% compared to
the same period last year. The airport handled 2.1 million tonnes
of cargo and 62,155 flight movements, representing decreases of
8.2% and 1.1%, respectively.
On a 12-month rolling basis,
the airport handled 1.81 million passengers, a growth of 99.1%
year-on-year. The airport handled 4.8 million tonnes of
cargo and 144,150 flight movements, representing increases of 2.6%
and 11.5%, respectively.
