Hong Kong International Airport reported a 10.1% year-over-year increase in passenger traffic from January to August, reaching 44.3 million travelers. In contrast, cargo volume decreased by 1.2% in August for the second consecutive month due to weak export conditions. Passenger numbers rose 3.5% to 5.86 million in August alone, with flight movements increasing slightly by 0.5%. The airport attributed the growth primarily to a significant rise in transfer and transit passengers.
