Cathay Group carried more passengers and cargo year-on-year while continuing to expand the Group’s global network
Cathay Cargo carried 1% more cargo in September 2025 than in September 2024, while Available Freight Tonne Kilometres (AFTKs) increased by 4%.
In the first nine months of 2025, the total tonnage increased by 10% compared with the same period for 2024.
Lavinia said: “While tonnage in September declined against the previous month due to the impact of typhoons, it continued to rise year-on-year as a result of the additional capacity we provided.
“Our Cathay Expert and Dangerous Goods solutions also recorded double-digit growth, driven by machinery movements within Northeast Asia and exports of newly launched high-tech products from the Chinese Mainland and Southeast Asia.
“Looking at October and beyond, we observed solid demand during the National Day holiday.
“We have also added a new seasonal freighter service to Madrid, providing customers with more capacity to and from this important European market during the traditional peak months.”
