Hong Kong Air Cargo plans to launch charter flights between Hong Kong International and Navi Mumbai International from next month.
Operations are due to begin on 10 August, with flights departing from Hong Kong on Mondays and return flights from Navi Mumbai departing the same day.
“By establishing an early footprint at Western India’s brand-new aviation hub, the route strengthens the airline’s regional network and opens lucrative trade lanes between East and South Asia,” said Hong Kong Air Cargo.
The airline recently appointed Aeroprime as its GSSA in India to help it expand its presence in the fast-growing cargo market.
Hong Kong Air Cargo also has steadily expanded into Europe, in part to meet e-commerce demand in the region.
However, cargo volumes between e-commerce hub Hong Kong and Europe have sharply declined in recent weeks as a result of the European Union’s (EU) introduction of a charge for e-commerce packages.
The airline started operations in the region in October 2023 with a service to Milan Malpensa.
In February 2024, HKAC began operating a new route to Liege in Belgium, then in September 2024, it expanded its network to Oslo in Norway.
The UK in particular has been a major focal point for HKAC’s European operations. In February 2024, the airline started operating to London Stansted (STN), then in October 2024, it launched a route to Birmingham (BHX).
In February 2025, the airline began flying to Glasgow Prestwick (PIK) and in November 2025 it began operations at East Midlands Airport (EMA).
In February, the airline launched scheduled services to Larnaca International in Cyprus.
