As Hong Kong and South East Asia continues to recover from Super Typhoon Ragasa that swept through the region last week, its airport is pressing ahead with ambitious plans to deepen integration with the Greater Bay Area (GBA), and expand its cargo capabilities.
This was the message in an article on the Routes website that made interesting reading for the U-Freight Group, with our headquarters, as well as several freight and logistics hubs in Hong Kong, and the GBA.
According to the Routes report, Airport Authority Hong Kong (AAHK) CEO Vivian Cheung outlined how Hong Kong International Airport (HKG) is leveraging its strategic position to tap into the GBA’s vast economic potential.
“Seeing the GBA as our home market, we are committed to seizing the opportunities and have been proactively strengthening connectivity with other GBA cities,” Cheung told Routes.
HKG also continues to lead globally in air cargo, handling around 70% of the GBA’s international freight. Cheung highlighted the success of the sea-air intermodal transshipment service between the airport and the Dongguan Logistics Park, which processed cargo valued at RMB30 billion (USD4 billion) from April 2023 to June 2025.
“Construction of the permanent facility for the logistics park began in July this year, with the first phase targeted to commence operations in the first half of 2027,” she said.
We also note that Cheung said HKG’s strategy is to collaborate with industry partners to develop into Asia’s leading e-commerce fulfillment hub. The U-Freight Group, as an early entrant into e-commerce logistics wholly endorses that objective.
