From the Melbourne Airport website:
Melbourne Airport reported last week positive passenger results, with overall growth of 5% for the second quarter of the 2009/2010 financial year.
Melbourne’s strong performing international market continued to grow, up by 14% for the quarter.
For the first time in a calendar year, the airport recorded over five million international passengers. In the month of December alone, over half a million passengers passed through the international terminal.
The domestic passenger market grew by 3% compared with the same quarter last year.
Melbourne Airport CEO Chris Woodruff said: “As can be seen from the last twelve months, it has been a difficult year for aviation. We would like to thank all of our airlines for their continued support and investment in Melbourne.
“Melbourne Airport is committed to offering our passengers world-class facilities. Stage one of our international terminal expansion project was completed last December adding new gates, lounges and aircraft parking areas” he said.
