In March 2025, Cathay Cargo reported a 10.6% increase in cargo carried, totaling 148,807 tonnes compared to March 2024. Available freight tonne kilometres rose by 8.5%, although the load factor declined by 1.2 percentage points year on year. For the first quarter of 2025, total tonnage increased by 12% (399,085 tonnes) over the same period in 2024. Chief Customer and Commercial Officer Lavinia Lau noted growth in specialist solutions, including Cathay Priority and the launch of the refreshed Cathay Fresh service. However, she warned of a potential softening in air cargo demand between China and the U.S. due to tariff changes.
