HONG KONG - Hong Kong International Airport handled 63 million passengers in FY2025/26, Airport Authority Hong Kong said on July 15.
The 14.7% increase came during the phased opening of the expanded Terminal 2 and further growth in the airport’s international network. Aircraft movements rose 7.1% to 399,450, and cargo throughput increased 2.7% to 5.1 million tonnes during the fiscal year ended March 31.
For travellers, the expansion was visible in both the terminal and the route map.
Terminal 2’s coach hall began handling cross-boundary coach and limousine services in September 2025, followed by the commissioning of its departures facilities in May. HKIA also added 26 destinations, mainly in emerging Belt and Road markets, taking its network to more than 220 destinations by year-end.
AAHK Chairman Fred Lam said, “With the Three-runway System providing capacity for long-term traffic growth, and key components of SKYTOPIA advancing, HKIA is entering a new phase of development.”
The airport also extended its reach into the Greater Bay Area. Its City Terminal network grew to 38 locations during the fiscal year and reached 41 by June, giving eligible passengers access to check-in and related services before travelling to HKIA.
A Park & Fly service introduced in November 2025 allows passengers from designated Guangdong cities and Macao to leave their vehicles at the Hong Kong Port of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge before continuing to the airport.
Cargo operations followed the same cross-border model. At the HKIA Dongguan Logistics Park, export shipments can be screened, prepared and accepted in Dongguan before travelling by sea directly to HKIA’s airside for onward flights.
By the end of FY2025/26, 30 airlines and 144 Hong Kong agents were using the facility. Both cargo tonnage and cargo value increased by more than 90% year on year.
The traffic growth lifted revenue, but it did not produce higher shareholder profit. AAHK’s audited accounts show revenue rose 11.3% to HK$18.263 billion. Operating expenses and finance costs also increased, and profit attributable to the ordinary shareholder fell 16.8% to HK$2.043 billion.
Total group profit was HK$2.350 billion, and the board declared a HK$500 million dividend payable to the Hong Kong SAR Government.
