Total cargo throughput up 14% at HKG airport in 2024

With our headquarters, as well as several freight and logistics hubs in the city, we note that Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) saw robust growth in cargo throughout in 2024, when the airport entered a new era, as it added a third runway last year.

The year saw the airport crowned the world’s busiest cargo airport for the 13th time since 2010, whilst media reports indicate that flight movements in December rose by 12.5% to 33,550 year-on-year.

Cargo throughput in December increased by 6.6% year-on-year to 446,000 tonnes, whilst total cargo throughput saw growth of 14%, to 4.9 million tonnes.
 
This increase was mainly attributed to exports (+20%), with the most significant increases recorded in traffic to and from key trading regions in Europe, North America and the Middle East.
