Cathay welcomes initiatives in the Government’s Policy Address to further reinforce Hong Kong’s leading international aviation hub status.
Hong Kong International Airport
Singapore Changi Airport has surpassed Hong Kong as the busiest airport in Asia, according to data provided by analysis and consultancy firm Sobie Aviation.
The city said 106 imported cases on Sunday, the first time the number hit triple digits since early 2020 when the record-keeping began. There were 814 total new infections, a slight dip from the two-month high of 851 recorded on Saturday.
After two years of next to no passengers and airline traffic, Hong Kong Airport may never recover its position as an international aviation hub.
In 2019, Hong Kong International Airport handled 71.5 million passengers and 419,730 flight activities. HKIA was a bona fide global aviation hub and, for many passengers, their jumping-off point into Asia.
