International passenger number growth was particularly strong, up 13.5 per cent to 6,287,710, with Chinese visitor numbers surging by 26.2 per cent, as China Southern and China Eastern both moved to daily services.
Domestic passenger numbers were up 6.2 per cent to 21,902,747, even as the volcanic ash plume saw domestic passenger numbers for the month of June fall 4.6 per cent compared to June 2010.
“Mother nature has shown her strength over the last six months in particular with a number of events such as earthquakes, floods, cyclones as well as the lingering impacts of a volcanic eruption, all of which impacted on domestic Australian travel,” Clark said.
