A record number of international travellers passed through Sydney Airport in January.
International traffic in January hit a monthly record of 1.17 million passengers, up 2.3 per cent from the same month in 2011, Sydney Airport said on Monday.
Domestic passenger numbers were down 0.6 per cent from the same month in the previous year to 1.97 million.
That took total passenger traffic for the airport in January to 3.14 million, up 0.5 per cent from 3.13 million in January, 2011.
Sydney Airport chief executive Kerrie Mather said the steady international growth recorded over the second half of 2011 had continued into the new year.
"Capacity increases remain the key growth driver for the airport, with significant growth derived from service enhancements such as Emirates' third daily service to Dubai and Qantas's introduction of A380 flights to Hong Kong," Ms Mather said in a statement.
Sydney Airport will report its full-year financial results on February 23.
