The number of international passengers hardly changed, however, meaning the overall increase for the month was 2.4 per cent.
Despite the relative surge in domestic passengers, international passengers are still by far the biggest users of the airport.
In June 2008, 48,137 international passengers used the airport, outnumbering their domestic counterparts by almost 6 times.
