The Cathay Group has reported a 6.3% year-on-year rise in cargo volumes for June 2025, as demand from Southeast Asia and Taiwan to the Americas boosted throughput across its network.<\/p>\n

Cathay Cargo carried more than 130,000 tonnes of freight during the month, supported by growth in general cargo and high-tech electronics shipments. Available Freight Tonne Kilometres (AFTKs) increased by 5% compared with June 2024, although the cargo load factor slipped by 1.1 percentage points.<\/p>\n

Looking at the broader trend, Cathay\u2019s cargo tonnage for the first half of 2025 was up 11.3% compared with the same period last year.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the performance, Lavinia Lau, chief customer and commercial officer of the Cathay Group, said: \u201cOur 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cathay Cargo<\/a>\u00a0was recently named Airline of the Year \u2013 Asia at the World Air Cargo Awards 2025 which demonstrates its commitment to operational excellence and efforts to strengthen Hong Kong as a leading global air cargo hub.<\/p>\n
