Ethiopian Cargo has launched a new freight service connecting Hong Kong with Glasgow Prestwick Airport, strengthening cargo links between Asia and the United Kingdom.
The new route is expected to enhance air freight capacity for time-sensitive shipments, including e-commerce goods, electronics, pharmaceuticals, and industrial cargo moving between the two markets.
Glasgow Prestwick Airport said the addition of the service further reinforces its position as a key cargo gateway in the UK, offering efficient handling capabilities and strong landside connectivity.
Industry observers note that the Hong Kong connection provides businesses with improved access to one of Asia’s leading trade and logistics hubs while supporting import and export flows.
The service also reflects continued demand for diversified cargo routings as airlines and airports adapt to shifting global supply chain requirements.
Officials expect the new operation to generate added throughput for the airport and create further opportunities for freight forwarders, handlers, and regional businesses.
