Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) has been voted the world's busiest cargo airport for 2022, handling a total of 4.2 million tons of cargo during the year, according to the latest data released by Airports Council International (ACI).
HKIA retained the top position in 2022 despite ongoing geopolitical tensions and disruptions to global trade and supply chains that caused a decrease in overall air cargo volume globally, the Airport Authority HK said Tuesday (April 11).
An array of projects are currently underway to enhance air cargo services at HKIA, in parallel with the expansion into a three-runway system.
Despite the pandemic's impact on the global aviation industry, HKIA's cargo performance has consistently remained solid over the past few years, utilizing its broad network and excellent efficiency, according to Jack So, Chairman of Airport Authority Hong Kong.
"As air traffic continues to recover worldwide, coupled with the completion of various new cargo facilities at HKIA, we will continue to work with our business partners to consolidate HKIA's role as the world's leading air cargo hub," he said.
