With the commencement of works on the new UPS hub on 5 March, it marks an important milestone at HKIA — a development that further reinforces Hong Kong’s standing as a leading global air cargo gateway.

Air freight and logistics have long been a cornerstone of Hong Kong’s economy. With a strong line-up of express cargo operators already in place, HKIA continues to deliver world-class connectivity and infrastructure, enabling the city to remain competitive and thrive in an evolving global trade landscape — particularly in the high-growth Ecommerce and Express Cargo segments.

Built on a 20,000‑square‑metre site with direct airside access, the new UPS hub will serve as the company’s primary processing base for imports, exports and transhipments linking Europe, the U.S. and Asia. Designed for highly automated operations, the facility will feature state‑of‑the‑art sorting and scanning technologies alongside environmentally friendly elements. Slated for completion in 2028, it is expected to handle one million tonnes of cargo annually.

Having been ranked the world’s busiest cargo airport for 15 years since 2010, HKIA continues to attract long‑term strategic investments. UPS’s commitment stands as a clear vote of confidence in Hong Kong’s enduring strengths as a global logistics and e‑commerce hub.
