THE international passenger turnover at the Shenzhen airport reached 2.44 million in the first half of the year, an increase of 30.5 percent year on year, the Shenzhen airport said last week.

It is the third straight year that the number of international passengers has increased by more than 30 percent year on year.

Between January and June, the Shenzhen airport handled a total of 25.83 million passengers, an increase of 6.2 percent year on year. Regarding cargo turnover, the airport handled 58.7 tons of cargo and the amount of international cargo increased by 13 percent year on year.

The increase of international passengers was attributed to the opening of international flights.

In February, Hainan Airlines opened long-haul international routes to Dublin, Ireland, and Tel Aviv, Israel. On July 1, Mahan Air inaugurated a flight between Shenzhen and Tehran, becoming the third air route from Shenzhen to the Middle East.

Currently, the Shenzhen airport operates 51 international routes.

In the second half of the year, the Shenzhen airport will open routes to Cairo, Naypyitaw, the capital of Myanmar, and Sochi, Russia’s tourism resort near the Black Sea and host city of the 2014 Winter Olympics.

The airport’s total passenger turnover this year is expected to exceed 50 million.
