Macau International Airport Company Ltd (CAM) says it is targeting record passenger traffic of 8.7 million passengers in 2019, a 5.3% increase on 2018 numbers should the target come to fruition.
Macau Airport welcomed 8.26 million passengers in the 12 months to 31 December 2018, a 15% increase on the previous year, with total aircraft movements rising 12% to 65,000.
But CAM is expecting even stronger numbers this year, with the company’s 2018 Business Summary and 2019 Work Plan meeting proposing a raft of new targets. They include 69,000 aircraft movements, 42,750 tonnes of cargo, 3,438 business jets and 8.7 million passengers.
