Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) served just 71,000 passengers in January, down by 0.1% on a similarly depressed figure in January 2021.
Traffic represented just 1.09% of the pre-pandemic level recorded in January 2019, when the airport served 6.5 million passengers.

On a 12-month rolling basis, passenger volume fell by 57.6% to 1.4 million.
