The Airport Authority has released its annual report for the fiscal year 2024/25, which reveals positive development in multiple areas.
During the reporting period, the airport welcomed 54 million travellers, marking a 22 percent hike year-on-year.

The airport earned a profit of 2.4 billion dollars last year, up 52 percent from 2023/24, following 3 years of losses during the pandemic.
In order to build the third runway, the Airport Authority has been collecting airport construction fees ranging from 90 to 180 dollars from departing passengers since August 2016.
