Air Freight

  • Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) hosts about 140 airlines, with peak daily air traffic movements of around 1,150 flights and regular and direct flights to nearly 200 destinations worldwide, including some 50 destinations in Chinese Mainland. It has topped the global ranking for international air cargo throughput for more than ten years.
  • An increasing share of Hong Kong's total exports is moved by air freight – a sign that more high-valued, temperature-controlled, fresh or express goods are shipped through Hong Kong. In 2024, about 45% of Hong Kong's total import and export by value was shipped by air, amounting to about US$550 billion worth of goods.
  • With the commissioning of the Three-runway System in November 2024, HKIA’s annual cargo handling capacity will increase to 10 million tonnes of cargo by 2035.
