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.

  • 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.

Civil International Air Traffic Statistics at HKIA February 2021

I know I have fallen way behind on the statistics update, so I will be spamming them out over the next week or two.

  • Passenger numbers were down 97.5% from the year before, from 1.882.000 to 47.000
  • Cargo was up 23.3 % from 252.000 tonnes to 310.000
  • Passenger flights were down 74,3% from 14.124 to 3.635
  • Total flight movements were down 52% from 18.031 to 8.475.

February 2020 was the first month that we saw a reduction of flights with the outbreak of Covid-19, so this is where it start getting interesting to see how the numbers compare year-by-year. Of course the reductions in the beginning of the pandemic was not as severe as they were later on, but it still show how a drastic decrease it was over the next several months.

March numbers will be posted soon(ish).
