The Airport Authority also plans to fully leverage the airport’s advantages in handling high-value and temperature-controlled air cargo. Among them, jointly promoting the “sea-air cargo intermodal” mode with Dongguan and planning to complete the first phase construction of the “Hong Kong International Airport Logistics Park” permanent facilities by the end of next year, gradually reaching an annual handling capacity of one million tons. The Airport Authority will actively expand air cargo services, including cold chain cargo services at the Dongguan Logistics Park and jointly developing international freight services with Zhuhai.
HKELA President Suki Cheung stated, “We strongly believes that these measures, as well as the three-runway system project, will bring more opportunities and competitive advantages to the industry. The association will actively support the initiatives of the government and the Airport Authority, promoting the industry’s full utilisation of these measures to explore broader logistics and e-commerce markets. HKELA will collaborate with the industry, providing relevant training and resources to enhance the capabilities and competitiveness of logistics and e-commerce operators. At the same time, the association will actively participate in the government’s policy-making process, offering suggestions and opinions to advocate for more support and development opportunities for the industry.”

The association will work together with the industry, fully seize these opportunities, promote industry development, and contribute to establishing Hong Kong as a regional e-commerce logistics enter.
