"Overall passenger growth in July was primarily driven by a double-digit increase in transfer/transit passengers, with Hong Kong residents and visitors posting modest gains," Airport Authority Hong Kong (AAHK) said. "Most markets expanded in July, while the decline in the Middle East continued to narrow." Cargo volumes fell 1.9% year-on-year to 430,000 tonnes in July.
