As with all previous months this year, the numbers for Hong Kong air traffic is severely down from August 2019.
- Passenger numbers are down 97.9% from 4.857.000 in 2019 to only 100.000 in 2020. Compared to August 2020 that is up 16.000
- The number of tonnes of cargo handled is down 4.4% from 406.000 to 388.000. Compared to August it is about even, up 14.000 tonnes only.
- The number of aircraft movements are down 68.5% from 33.338 in August 2019 to 10.535 in August 2020. That is up 535 from August this year, so an improvement of about 5%.
So again we see a slight increase from the month before, and for the first time since COVID-19 the numbers are down less than 70%, so I guess it is kind of good news, but still a long way to go to where we really want to be I guess….
