Airport Authority Hong Kong (AA) today released Hong Kong International Airport’s (HKIA) traffic statistics for April 2021. During the month, cargo throughput saw a year-on-year increase of 15.5% to 389,000 tonnes. HKIA handled 60,000 passengers and 10,375 flights, marking year-on-year increases of 89.0% and 9.9%, respectively.
The surge in cargo volume last month was mainly attributed to a double-digit growth in imports. Despite a decline in transshipments due to a shortage of belly capacity on passenger flights, overall cargo throughput saw an increase during the month, most significantly in traffic to and from Southeast Asia and India.
Passenger traffic in April remained significantly below the pre-pandemic level in 2019. The year-on-year surge recorded was mainly due to the low base for comparison.
