In April 2026, Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) processed 423,000 tonnes of cargo, a 4.9% increase from the previous year, with cargo flight movements rising 4.3% to 6,605. The growth was primarily driven by a 20.2% rise in transshipment traffic and a 6.5% increase in imports, while exports saw a minor decline of 0.3%. Regional performance varied, with Europe and Southeast Asia showing growth, countered by weaker demand from North America and the Middle East.
