## Description

Georgian Airways operates weekly Boeing 767 freighter services connecting Haikou Meilan International Airport (HAK/ZJHK) on Hainan Island, southern China, with Paris, Milan, Rome and Tbilisi, anchoring a hub-and-spoke cargo network across Europe, West Asia and the Middle East. The airport handled 380,100 tonnes of cargo, mail and baggage in 2025, with international cargo and mail throughput reaching roughly 16,600 tonnes by September of that year. Cargolux and Cathay Pacific add belly-cargo capacity on their passenger services. A cargo apron expansion, underway since the second half of 2025 and due for completion by March 2027, is set to add freighter parking and handling capacity. As part of the Hainan Free Trade Port, HAK benefits from streamlined customs procedures for re-exported goods, though specific bonded-warehouse rules should be confirmed with a local broker. Road links via Hainan's ring expressway connect the airport to Haikou Port for road-feeder and sea-air combinations. Shippers targeting southern China also have Sanya Phoenix on Hainan and Guangzhou Baiyun on the mainland as alternative gateways. For time-critical and perishable cargo from Europe, the new direct freighter links make HAK an increasingly relevant option.
