Saudia Cargo Global Launches Hong Kong Hub, Expands Asia-Pacific Air Cargo Network

Hong Kong is emerging as a pivotal hub in the evolving global air cargo and logistics landscape, underscored by strategic initiatives such as the joint venture between Saudia Cargo and TAM Group to establish Saudia Cargo Global in the city. This aligns with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 to diversify its economy and capitalize on growing global events and tourism, with Hong Kong’s superior infrastructure and government support playing a critical role. Meanwhile, other regional developments include the launch of a new cargo route between Zhengzhou, China, and Luxembourg by China Postal Airlines, reinforcing the ‘Air Silk Road’ and enhancing multi-industry connectivity. Singapore continues to assert its position as a key multimodal logistics and airfreight hub in Southeast Asia, hosting major industry events that emphasize innovation, sustainability, and digitalization. In India, efforts to reduce high logistics costs focus on improving infrastructure integration, particularly between air and rail cargo, to support the country’s $1 trillion export economy goal by 2030. The global airfreight industry is facing significant disruptions in 2025, with Hong Kong hosting the TIACA Executive Summit to address challenges such as e-commerce growth, digitalization, and sustainability, signaling Asia’s rising prominence in the sector.
