The annual passenger and cargo flow data released by several airports last week reflects the impact of the new crown virus on 2020. In the face of government blockade measures and other health and epidemic prevention measures, airlines have shut down most of their aviation networks, passenger business has progressed slowly, and in some cases, cargo has filled the gap.
Hong Kong Airport is the world’s largest airport in terms of cargo volume. Since 2002, Hong Kong’s Chek Lap Kok Airport has ranked first in global cargo volume for 18 consecutive years. In 2018, it reached a record high of 5.1 million tons, with an average of 14,000 tons of cargo per day. Take off and land here in the cabin.
But in 2020, Hong Kong's cargo volume will drop by 7% to 4.5 million tons, and passenger traffic will drop by 87%. The airport handled 68,660 cargo flights throughout the year, an 18.3% increase over 2019. The damage to Hong Kong comes from the loss of passenger traffic, because a large amount of cargo is transferred from regional flights to long-distance passenger and cargo flights.
