Brisbane Airport recorded good international growth in April with visitor numbers from Asian markets increasing 15.4 per cent (or an additional 6,400 passengers) overall year-on-year.
China was the standout with 54.2 per cent growth (or an additional 5,000 passengers), followed closely by Taiwan at 35.2 per cent (or an additional 1,300 passengers), and India with a 27.1 per cent (or an additional 1,300 passengers) increase compared to last April.

Seat capacity to and from international destinations increased by 3.5 per cent on last year due to some airlines scheduling larger aircraft onto their Brisbane routes.

An additional 77,000 domestic seats were also on offer throughout April, a 4.6 per cent increase on last year.
