According to the AA, with the relaxation of travel restrictions, the number of passengers of all categories has increased significantly year-on-year, among which the growth of Hong Kong residents is particularly significant, and the number of passengers traveling to and from Southeast Asia and Japan has increased most significantly. Passenger demand was strong in the second half of January due to the Lunar New Year holiday. The orderly resumption of outbound travel in the Mainland has also led to the recovery of the number of tourists from Hong Kong and the Mainland.
According to the AA, the decline in cargo volume was mainly due to the uncertain global economic outlook. During the month, cargo volume to and from Southeast Asia, North America and Europe experienced the most significant declines. In addition, the temporary closure of factories in the Mainland during the Lunar New Year holiday also had a certain impact on cargo volume.
According to data from the Airport Authority, in the past 12 months, passenger traffic at Hong Kong International Airport has increased by 466% year-on-year to 7.6 million, aircraft movements have fallen by 1.7% to 142,920, and cargo volume has dropped by 18.2% to 4.1 million tons.
