A total of 4.1 million tonnes of cargo was handled by the gateway in 2013, as imports and exports grew by one per cent year-on-year. During December, HKIA handled 371,000 tonnes, about the same as the year previously.Chief executive officer of HKIA, Stanley Hui Hon-chung, says: "HKIA strengthened its position as a leading regional and international aviation hub in 2013. We welcomed five new airlines and added five new destinations during the year."December's stagnant performance was further hindered by HKIA's transshipments, which dipped six per cent year-on-year.
