The Airports Council International has announced the full-year data for 2025, with Hong Kong International Airport retaining its position as the world's busiest cargo airport. The annual cargo volume reached 5.07 million metric tons, marking the 15th time since 2010 that it has topped the global cargo airport rankings. Ms. Vivian Cheung, Chief Executive Officer of the Airport Authority Hong Kong, expressed gratitude for Hong Kong International Airport once again becoming the world's busiest cargo airport. She thanked the aviation cargo industry for their collective efforts and various government departments for their strong support, allowing them to continuously enhance their capabilities in handling high-value cargo, e-commerce fulfillment, and cross-border transshipment.
