Cathay Cargo congratulates Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) for once again being named the world’s busiest cargo airport in 2023, according to the latest data from Airports Council International (ACI). As the city’s home carrier for 77 years and the largest cargo operator at HKIA, Cathay Cargo is proud to be part of this success story.
Cathay’s Director Cargo Tom Owen said: “Hong Kong once again being named number one in the world for air cargo is a testament to the resilience, innovation and collaboration of the Hong Kong air cargo community. With its world-leading infrastructure, expertise and capabilities, supported by the increased development of intermodal connectivity within the Greater Bay Area, Hong Kong continues to be at the forefront of the global air cargo industry.
“Cathay’s ongoing investments in our passenger and freighter fleets, our extensive cargo network, cargo facilities, and our digital and sustainability capabilities to meet the evolving needs of cargo customers, are a reflection of our deep confidence in the long-term future of the Hong Kong air cargo logistics hub.” “We certainly don’t take Hong Kong’s air cargo success for granted, and remain committed to continuing to work together with the Transport and Logistics Bureau, Civil Aviation Department, Airport Authority Hong Kong, all sectors in the air cargo industry, and countless other important stakeholders to continue to grow Hong Kong further as the world’s leading air cargo hub, and the premier air cargo gateway connecting the Chinese Mainland with the rest of the world.”
Last month, Hong Kong International Airport and Cathay Cargo hosted the IATA World Cargo Symposium, one of the air cargo industry’s largest and most prestigious annual events, for the first time.
