Hong Kong Int’l sees passenger and cargo growth in March
Hong Kong International Airport recorded a 4.8% rise in the number of passengers handled in March 2016 compared to March 2015, with a total of 6m passengers. Aircraft movements were also up by 2.2% year-over-year to 35,060. HKIA management described March growth as “steady”; indeed, January 2016 saw a much larger 16% growth. An HKIA official said the airport was concentrating on developing smart airport technologies to enhance operational efficiency and passenger experience. One example he cited is HKIA’s Self Bag Drop service, which has so far been adopted by Cathay Pacific and Hong Kong Airlines. “This new service enables passengers to cut processing time by half compared to queuing at traditional check-in counters.” <br/>
