Civil International Air Traffic Statistics at HKIA April 2021

Just a quick post to keep the records available for myself.

The Air Traffic Statistics At HKIA in April 2021 compared to April 202 was as follows:

  • Passenger numbers were up 89% from 32.000 to 60.000
  • Cargo tonnes handeles was up 15.5% from 337.000 to 389.000 tonnes.
  • Passenger flight were up 29.4% from 3.257 to 5.215
  • Cargo flights were about the same from 5.904 to 5.925
  • Total flight movements were up 9.9% from 9.441 to 10.375

As we see, a bit of improvement from the year before, but I think the numbers went down quickly again after that, will see over the next few days as I get into the next few monthly reports.

Civil International Air Traffic Statistics at HKIA March 2021

In an effort to try to catch up, here are the air traffic statistics for Hong Kong from March 2021:

  • Passenger numbers were down 89.9% compared to a year earlier, from 576.000 to 58.000
  • Cargo was up 4.9% from 379.000 tonnes to 397.000 tonnes.
  • Passenger flights were down 22.8% from 5.724 to 4.420
  • Total flight numbers were down 12.5% from 12.135 to 10.620.

March was the 2nd month after Covid restrictions hit worldwide aviation, so it is worth noting that the numbers for March 2020 were also down 67% from the year before, so the reduction in flights in and out of Hong Kong compared to 2019 were down from 36.752, so quite severe reductions. And I think worse were still to come, I’ll go through the next few months soon as well.
