The air transport industry can be divided into two parts: cargo and passenger. Regardless of freight and passenger transport, there are airlines operating scheduled and non-scheduled flights. More than half of the air cargo is transported by passenger aircraft cargo compartments rather than pure cargo aircraft, and can be divided into two categories: express cargo and heavy cargo.
Before the new crown epidemic, about 120 international airlines provided passenger and all-cargo flights between Hong Kong and about 220 destinations around the world, including about 50 mainland cities. At present, Hong Kong has signed air transport service agreements with 67 countries and regions.
Most of the air cargo and logistics operations at Hong Kong International Airport are operated by private companies. The five cargo terminals currently owned by the airport can handle more than 7 million metric tons of cargo per year, which is among the best in the world.

More and more countries intend to privatize port operations and/or develop new ports on commercial principles, and the market demand for the export of maritime transport services is also increasing day by day.
Hong Kong port operators are very active in this area and have made considerable progress in mainland China and elsewhere. The Hong Kong container terminal operator group’s operating network covers 52 ports in 26 countries. In 2021, the group handled 88 million TEUs.
As of September 2022, 2,438 ships, totaling 128 million gross tons, have been registered with the Hong Kong Shipping Registry. In addition, as of the end of 2021, Hong Kong is the fourth largest shipping registry in the world, after Panama, Liberia and the Marshall Islands.
