How do I track air cargo at Hong Kong Airport (HKG)?

Enter your AWB number in the tracker above. Cathay Pacific Cargo (prefix 160) is the dominant carrier at HKG, followed by FedEx (020), UPS (406), and Air Hong Kong (081, DHL express). Trackora covers all of them.

What cargo terminals operate at Hong Kong Airport?

HKG has two main cargo facilities: HACTL's SuperTerminal 1 (one of the largest air cargo terminals in the world, handling most third-party airline cargo) and the Cathay Pacific Cargo Terminal (CPCT), which handles Cathay's own cargo and is the world's largest single-airline cargo terminal.

How does Hong Kong customs clearance work for air cargo?

Hong Kong has no customs duties on most imports (it is a free port). Most cargo clears customs within 1 business day via the ROCARS (Real-time Online Cargo and Arrival Reporting System). Controlled items such as pharmaceuticals, food, and electronics may require import licences from relevant authorities.

What are free storage days at Hong Kong Airport?

Free storage at HKG cargo terminals is typically 2–3 days from flight arrival. HACTL and CPCT then apply storage fees, typically HKD 0.30–0.80 per kg per day depending on cargo type and temperature requirements.

Why is Hong Kong the world's busiest cargo airport?

Hong Kong's position as a free port (no import duties), its geographic location at the center of Asia-Pacific trade routes, the Cathay Pacific hub, and world-class infrastructure make HKG the world's #1 cargo airport by tonnage — a title it has held for most of the past two decades.
