HK Express has achieved remarkable growth in 2024, having ended the year with a 40% year-on-year increase in total passengers carried.
On 31 December 2024, the airline Express welcomed its six-millionth passenger, marking an important milestone for the year. This rapid growth has garnered industry recognition for the airline, earning the title of the world’s “Fastest Growing Airline of 2024” from OAG, the leading data platform for the global travel industry.
“This year has been significant for HK Express as our team meticulously expanded our network of destinations, fleet and team,” said CEO Jeanette Mao.
“Not only have we achieved the milestone of surpassing six million passengers in a single year but we have also been recognized by the industry as the fastest-growing airline globally. As Hong Kong’s only low-cost airline, we will continue to offer affordable fares and introduce exciting new destinations, enabling travelers to embrace the freedom to travel anytime, anywhere. We are confident in our ability to further contribute to Hong Kong’s aviation and tourism sectors, reinforcing the city’s position as an international aviation hub.”
To celebrate this milestone, the airline’s management team greeted the six-millionth passenger at the gate for flight UO668 from Hong Kong to Fukuoka and presented the lucky traveler, Ms Wan, with six round-trip tickets as a token of appreciation for her continuous support.
Ms. Wan expressed her surprise, saying, “I never thought that I would be this lucky! I will plan next year’s travel itinerary with my family; I prefer natural scenery, so I will likely explore different destinations in Japan.”
