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.
