The Cricket World Cup boosted international passenger numbers last month.

Auckland Airport says 87,000 more visitors arrived.

It says the Eden Park semifinal helped boost South African visitor arrivals by 73 and a half percent and the Black Caps’qualification for the final caused Melbourne flights to sell-out.

Auckland Airport says Air New Zealand, Virgin Australia and Qantas all added extra return services between Auckland and Australia to meet demand.
