In 2023, Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) handled a total of 4.3 million tonnes of cargo. As the only airport worldwide exceeding 4 million tonnes, it has been the world's busiest cargo airport for over 10 years. As the third runway was officially commissioned from 2035 onwards, HKIA's annual passenger and cargo handling capacities are expected to increase respectively to around 120 million and 10 million tonnes.

Moreover, the airport is at the crossroads of Northeast and Southeast Asia, It provides transshipment services for air cargo from them to the world. As an international aviation hub, HKIA is connected to nearly 200 destinations worldwide, reaching around half of the world's population within a five-hour flight. With the talent and resources available, Hong Kong continues to serve as an aviation hub for Asia and the world.

Our Hong Kong Foundation has produced a special programme, "From Changes to Chances Hong Kong Odyssey", on its 10th anniversary to share insights into Hong Kong's future.
