Hong Kong’s HK Express crowned ‘fastest-growing airline of 2024’
HK Express has been named the world’s “fastest-growing airline of 2024,” achieving a remarkable 40 percent increase in passengers, reaching a record 6 million. This growth is attributed to a significant rise in the number of flights, which increased by 46 percent to 35,015, driven by the airline's expanded network and fleet.
The rebound in outbound travel post-Covid-19 has played a crucial role in this rapid recovery, with experts predicting continued growth for low-cost airlines as the strong Hong Kong dollar encourages more residents to travel abroad. Dr. Andrew Yuen Chi-lok from the Chinese University of Hong Kong noted that HK Express's extensive network in Japan has made it a popular choice for leisure travelers. However, despite its growth, the airline recently fell out of the top 10 most punctual low-cost carriers, according to Cirium’s On-Time Performance Review.
