International passenger arrivals rose 9.9 per cent at Auckland International Airport Limited in April compared to the same month last year.
The growth reverses March's decline.
Australian, New Zealand, British, American, Chinese and Hong Kong visitors lead the growth, offset by a decline in passengers from Japan.
International departures were up 2.8 per cent, with the total number of international passengers up 6 per cent.
Domestic passenger growth also remains solid, with a 4.1 per cent growth for April, and 3.2 per cent for the year to date.
