TAIPEI, July 1 Asia Pulse - The number of inbound and outbound passengers at Chiang Kai-shek (CKS) International Airport broke the 30,000-mark Sunday for the first time since late March when severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) became prevalent in Taiwan.

According to official tallies, CKS Airport -- Taiwan's main gateway -- served a total of 31,790 passengers Sunday, with 16,081 arrivals and 15,709 departures.

The average occupancy rate on airplanes leaving or arriving at CKS Airport reached 148.55 persons, also the highest level since late March.

The number of passengers going through the airport began to decline after SARS started to grip the island in mid-March, and the downward trend was aggravated late that month when a temperature-taking requirement was first imposed on all incoming passengers.

The decline became even steeper after arriving passengers from SARS-affected areas began being required to undergo a 10-day home quarantine in mid-April when cluster SARS transmissions were reported at several hospitals in Taiwan.
