HONG Kong's cathay Cargo carried over 130,000 tonnes of cargo in June, an increase of 6.3 over the same month last year.
Available Freight Tonne Kilometres (AFTKs) increased by 5 per cent while load factor decreased by 1.1 percentage points year on year.
In the first six months of 2025, the total tonnage increased by 11.3 per cent compared with the same period for 2024.
Chief Customer and Commercial Officer Lavinia Lau said: 'Our cargo business continued to see year-on-year growth in June, largely due to tariff timelines and resulting market behaviour.
'We observed significant growth in tonnage from Southeast Asia and the Taiwan region to the Americas, driven by both general cargo and high-tech electronics. Our Cathay Pharma solution also performed well across long-haul trade lanes in particular.
'For July, we expect demand uncertainties to persist and we will continue to closely monitor developments over the coming weeks.'
Cathay Pacific and HK Express carried around 2.9 million passengers, 23.3 per cent more than June 2024.
Ms Lavinia said: 'Cathay Pacific set a new post-pandemic record by carrying over 90,000 passengers on June 28, while also achieving its highest single-day load factor so far this year of 93.4 per cent on the same day.
