Hong Kong Air Cargo (HKAC) has launched scheduled services connecting Hong Kong International (HKG) and Larnaca International (LCA) in Cyprus.
This is the second destination that the cargo airline has added to its network in recent weeks and is also its 15th overall destination.
Flights will start from 17 February, said HKAC. The airline confirmed that HKG-LCA flights would take place on Tuesdays, while LCA-HKG return flights will also be carried out on a Tuesday.
“This new connection strengthens our position in the Eastern Mediterranean and supports broader cargo access across Europe and nearby regions, offering customers dependable and efficient transport options,” said the airline.
“We look forward to working closely with our partners as we expand our network across Asia and the Mediterranean.”
The airline commenced scheduled charter flights between HKG and Athens International Airport (ATH) on 2 February.
HKAC has steadily expanded into Europe, in part to meet e-commerce demand in the region. 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 January this year, HKAC added an Airbus A330-200 passenger to freighter (P2F) aircraft to its fleet of five A330-200 production freighters, all dry leased from parent company Hong Kong Airlines.
The airline also has an EFW-converted Airbus A330-300P2F that is on ACMI lease.
