Air Freight

• Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) hosts over 120 airlines operating more than 1 100 flights per day, with regular and direct services to over 220 destinations worldwide, including some 50 destinations in Mainland China. It has been the world's busiest airport for international cargo since 1996.
• An increasing share of Hong Kong's total exports is moved by air freight – a sign that more higher-value, delicate, perishable or need-for-speed products are shipped through Hong Kong. In 2017, about 39% of Hong Kong's total exports by value was shipped by air, amounting to about US$192 billion of goods. The corresponding figures in 2007 were 31% and US$108 billion.
• To meet the demand for continuous growth in passenger and cargo traffic, Hong Kong is embarking on a Third Runway System project. Upon completion, Hong Kong International Airport will have the capacity to handle around 100 million passengers and 9 million tonnes of cargo annually by 2030.
