The ACI Asia-Pacific & Middle East Air Connectivity Index is a passenger-centric analytical tool that measures airport connectivity through network scale and frequency, the economic weight of destinations, and connection quality and efficiency by aircraft type, domestic/international status, number of stops, and alliance membership.  

The Middle East posted 21% growth in air connectivity, driven by the expanding reach of Gulf-based carriers, while Asia-Pacific grew 10%, reflecting continued network expansion.  

The growth reflects expanding international networks, stronger hub connectivity, and the continued recovery of city-pair connections. As the regions enter the next phase of growth, the focus will be on ensuring that airport and airspace capacity, infrastructure, and the wider policy environment keep pace.

The first half of 2026, however, highlights the importance of resilience: Asia-Pacific connectivity remained positive amid a challenging global environment, while in the Middle East, the region’s strategic geographic position and strong underlying aviation market continue to support its role as a major global connectivity hub, even as geopolitical developments have created short-term challenges for airline schedules, airspace, and connectivity.

Key findings

Across the 315 airports covered by the index, 74% recorded positive connectivity growth in 2025, with the overall index up 11%, moderating from 14% in 2024 as growth settled into a more sustainable trajectory.

Major hub airports continued to lead, with 83-97% recording growth, benefiting from continued airline network expansion and sustained international travel demand.

Chinese airports recorded a significant increase in connectivity, with Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG), Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (CAN) and Beijing Capital International Airport (PEK) ranking in the top 10 for total air connectivity in 2025, alongside Hong Kong International Airport (HKG).

Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport (Kolkata, India), Sharjah International Airport and Sanya Phoenix International Airport (Hainan province, China) recorded the strongest improvements among airports handling 15–25 million passengers a year, driven by international network recovery, airline expansion, and rising regional demand.

Noi Bai International Airport (Hanoi), Abu Dhabi International Airport, and Tan Son Nhat International Airport (Ho Chi Minh City) were the biggest improvers among airports handling 25–40 million passengers a year.

Among airports handling 1 to 5 million passengers a year, Surabaya and Phu Quoc stood out. At the same time, Da Nang, Medina and Muscat led the 5 to 15 million category, all showing notable improvements in connectivity rankings and growing potential as emerging gateways, driven by strategic route expansion, tourism recovery, and regional development.

Only 51% of the smallest airports (under 1 million passengers a year) recorded increased connectivity in 2025, partly reflecting airline route rationalisation and the closure of several connections.

Intra-regional flows still account for 91% of departing passenger traffic in Asia-Pacific, up 5% from 2024 and 5% above 2019 levels.

Intercontinental traffic from Asia-Pacific grew 7% year on year, reaching 12% above pre-pandemic levels. From the Middle East, intercontinental traffic grew 9% year on year and is now 27% above pre-pandemic levels.

Traffic from Asia-Pacific to Europe, the Middle East, Central & South America, and Africa has exceeded pre-pandemic levels, driven by resurgent demand and improved connectivity, especially via Gulf hubs. North America is the exception, still 9% below 2019 levels.

International city pairs grew 10% on average in 2025, moderating from 17% in 2024, while domestic city pairs turned positive at 0.8%, recovering from a 1% decline in 2024.

Movers and shakers

Dubai International Airport continues to rank at the top in 2025, followed by Shanghai Pudong International Airport and Incheon International Airport. Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport ranks fourth, followed by Hamad International Airport, Singapore Changi Airport, Beijing Capital International Airport, Bangkok Suvarnabhumi International Airport, Tokyo Haneda Airport and Hong Kong International Airport, completing the top 10 most connected airports across Asia-Pacific and the Middle East. The three airports recording the greatest improvements in connectivity in 2025 were Shanghai Pudong International Airport (+32%), Kuala Lumpur International Airport (+30%), and Hong Kong International Airport (+28%).

ACI Asia-Pacific & Middle East Director General Stefano Baronci said: “The growth in air connectivity is encouraging. With post-pandemic recovery behind us, 2025 marked a shift from rebuilding capacity to preparing for sustained growth. With passenger volumes across Asia-Pacific and the Middle East projected to reach 11 billion within the next three decades, it is increasingly important that we continue to strengthen connectivity so that aviation can deliver greater choice for passengers and wider economic benefits.”

Hub connectivity

Dubai International Airport once again emerged as the region’s leading hub, with a hub connectivity score close to 40% higher than its nearest competitor. Shanghai Pudong International Airport, Incheon International Airport, Hamad International Airport, and Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport follow.

Early momentum for 2026: a complex year marked by geopolitical instability and economic challenges

Despite economic shocks from conflicts in Europe and the Middle East and changes in US trade policy, Asia-Pacific direct connectivity remained positive, with modest growth of 0.5% in H1 2026 compared to H1 2025. The Middle East, by contrast, contracted sharply, down 23% as geopolitical conflict in the region forced airlines to cut schedules and reroute around affected airspace.

Overall passenger growth in July was primarily driven by a double-digit increase in transfer/transit passengers, with Hong Kong residents and visitors posting modest gains. Most markets expanded in July, while the decline in the Middle East continued to narrow.

Over the first seven months of the year, passenger volume saw 11.2% year-on-year growth to 38.4 million, while flight movements increased by 4.0% to 234,905. On a 12-month rolling basis, passenger volume rose by 12.6% year-on-year to 64.8 million, while flight movements increased by 5.3% to 403,670.

On the cargo front, cargo volume recorded a year-on-year decline of 1.9% to 422,000 tonnes in July 2026. During the month, transshipments and imports recorded 14.5% and 2.9% growth, respectively, while exports declined by 8.4% year-on-year. By region, Southeast Asia and the Chinese Mainland remained resilient, helping to offset softer traffic from Europe and North America amid shifting global trade patterns.

From January to July this year, cargo traffic grew 14% in Southeast Asia and 11% in Europe, offsetting declines in North America and the Middle East and driving total cargo throughput over the seven months up 3.2% year on year to 2.92 million tonnes. Over the past 12 months, total cargo throughput grew 3.2% year on year to 5.16 million tonnes.

Authority Hong Kong (AAHK) Director of Hub Development, Airport Chapman Fong said: “The global air cargo market continues to navigate a complex operating environment shaped by a changing trade landscape. Despite these challenges, HKIA’s extensive air network and exceptional efficiency have enabled air cargo operators to adapt by rapidly rerouting cargo and adjusting logistics arrangements. The growth in markets like Southeast Asia and the Chinese Mainland underscores the resilience of Hong Kong’s role as a leading international cargo hub.”

Meanwhile, HKIA has been named the Most Influential Airport Brand of the Year 2025 by Civil Aviation Passenger Service Evaluation (CAPSE), an independent civil aviation evaluation body in the Chinese Mainland. The award was based on an assessment of 44 major airports in the region, each handling more than 10 million passengers annually. Evaluation criteria included factors such as brand awareness, brand trust and innovation capability, drawing on the perceptions and experiences of travellers in the Chinese Mainland.

AAHK Executive Director Corporate Development William Ho said: “We are honoured to be recognised as the Most Influential Airport Brand by CAPSE. As the preferred international gateway for the Greater Bay Area, HKIA has been strengthening its connectivity with the region and the Chinese Mainland through an extensive intermodal transport network, providing passengers with seamless access to destinations worldwide. HKIA will continue to strengthen its position as Asia’s leading aviation hub by enhancing the passenger journey through smart technologies, operational excellence and customer-centric services.”

The launch of “Park & Visit” follows the expansion of the Southbound Travel Scheme to all nine Mainland GBA cities. The newly added Mainland cities are Shenzhen, Dongguan, Huizhou, Foshan and Zhaoqing, joining Guangzhou, Zhongshan, Zhuhai and Jiangmen.

Applications for “Park & Visit” opened on 16 July for eligible vehicles from the nine Mainland GBA cities and Macao. Successful applicants may drive via the HZMB to the automated car park operated by Airport Authority Hong Kong (AAHK) in the restricted area on the Hong Kong Port Island. 

The visitors may then leave their vehicles with the automated parking system, take a shuttle to the Passenger Clearance Building of the Hong Kong Port to complete immigration procedures, and continue their journeys across Hong Kong by public transport. On their return, visitors will retrieve their vehicles after completing departure clearance at the Hong Kong Port and drive back via the HZMB.

A welcome event was led by Mable Chan, Secretary for Transport and Logistics; Winnie Tse, Commissioner of Transport; and Steven Yiu, Executive Director, Airport Operations of AAHK, who greeted the first “Park & Visit” users from Guangzhou on 16 July.

Chan said: “We thank AAHK for its continued support for ‘Southbound Travel for Guangdong Vehicles’. The launch of ‘Park & Fly’ at the end of last year marked the first step in this initiative, connecting two world-class infrastructure projects — the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge and Hong Kong International Airport. Today’s launch of ‘Park & Visit’ marks another milestone. Eligible private car owners from Guangdong and Macao, who have booked and confirmed a parking space, can park their vehicles at the fully automated car park at the Hong Kong Port and enjoy an impromptu trip to Hong Kong. Today is also the first day of the expanded arrangements for visitors from more cities to drive into Hong Kong’s urban area, with the daily quota for pre-booked trips doubled to 200 vehicles. I encourage visitors to make use of the park-and-ride arrangement when travelling into the urban areas and explore the charms of Hong Kong’s districts through our world-class public transport system.”

Yiu said, “‘Park & Visit’ provides a convenient option for visitors to leave their vehicles at our fully automated car park at the Hong Kong Port and then visit different attractions on Lantau Island by public transport. We are working with business partners on Lantau and other supporting organisations to offer discounts and other privileges, with a view to attracting more visitors to Hong Kong and injecting added momentum into tourism.”

Meanwhile, HKIA’s “Park & Fly” service, launched in November last year, has also been extended to cover the entire GBA. Eligible passengers from the nine Mainland GBA cities can now drive via the HZMB to the automated car park and fly from HKIA to global destinations without having to go via Hong Kong immigration procedures. Applying advanced technology to ensure efficiency and security, the automated car park developed and operated by AAHK for “Park & Fly” and “Park & Visit” is Hong Kong’s first fully automated parking service.

Cargo volume increased to 435,000 tonnes with a 3.0% year-on-year growth during the month.

Overall passenger growth in May was supported by a double-digit increase in transfer / transit passengers, followed by visitors. During the Chinese Mainland’s Labour Day “Golden Week” holiday, daily passengers peaked at 204,000 on 1 May. By region, most markets expanded in May, with growth led by the Mainland, Japan and Southeast Asia.

Overall cargo growth was primarily driven by transhipment, followed by imports, which recorded year‑on‑year increases of 23.2% and 1.2%, respectively. By region, cargo performance was mixed, with growth in the Mainland and Southeast Asia offsetting declines in markets such as India. Notably, the Middle East saw modest growth in May, marking its first expansion since the outbreak of the conflicts in March.

HKIA’s global network has further expanded, with Delta Air Lines returning to HKIA with new services between Hong Kong and Los Angeles, offering seven pairs of flights per week from 8 June, strengthening HKIA’s connectivity with North America. Sun PhuQuoc Airways also launched new services to Phu Quoc Island in Vietnam, while Hong Kong Airlines launched a new route to Lanzhou in May.

For the first five months of the year, passenger volume rose by 12.5% year on year to 27.7 million, while flight movements increased by 4.8% year on year to 168,745. Cargo throughput recorded a 3.6% increase to 2.06 million tonnes compared to the same period of last year.

On a 12-month rolling basis, HKIA handled 64.0 million passengers and 402,415 flight movements, experiencing year-on-year increases of 13.0% and 6.1% respectively. Cargo volume grew by 3.0% year on year to 5.14 million tonnes.

The launch follows the confirmation of services linking WSI to Melbourne, Brisbane and the Gold Coast, connecting some of Australia’s most popular holiday destinations to a brand-new 24-hour international airport.

While the initial flight schedule is modest, ATIA says the significance of what WSI represents to the broader travel network is substantial.

From 25 October 2026, Jetstar will operate up to 14 flights a week between WSI and Melbourne, four weekly flights to the Gold Coast, and three weekly flights to Brisbane. From 28 March 2027, Qantas will add four weekly services to both Brisbane and Melbourne, operated by QantasLink Embraer E190 aircraft.

For travel agents and tour operators across the country, the arrival of a new gateway into Greater Sydney opens genuine new options for building domestic itineraries and packages, particularly for the fast-growing Western Sydney catchment area. More flights mean more options for travellers, and more opportunities for travel businesses to serve a broader range of customers.

WSI will also become a significant freight hub, with the airport’s integrated 24-hour Cargo Precinct opening on 26 July 2026 and Qantas Freight among the first operators to fly from the facility.

ATIA CEO Dean Long commented: “This is exciting news for Australian travellers and for the travel industry. Yes, it is a small number of flights to start with, but they connect to some genuine holiday hot spots and mark the beginning of what WSI will grow into.

“More flights always mean more options for travellers, and more options mean more business for the travel agents and tour operators who are there to help Australians plan their trips.

“Western Sydney International is a transformative addition to Australia’s travel landscape. It gives millions of people in western Sydney direct access to the network for the first time, and it gives the whole country a new gateway. We look forward to watching this airport grow and to the increased connectivity it will bring for Australian travellers.”

Western Sydney International Airport (WSI) is located 41 km west of Kingsford Smith International Airport (SYD) and 44 km from downtown Sydney.  

Designated a 24-hour airport, in contrast to Kingsford Smith, which has a nighttime curfew for landings and take-offs, WSI will open for commercial passenger flights on 25 October, with a single 3.7 km-long runway and a terminal building capable of handling 10 million passengers annually. That compares with 41 million passengers that move through Kingsford Smith (SYD).

Singapore Airlines will serve WSI from its Singapore home base starting daily flights effective 23 November 2026.

Hong Kong Airlines is the first airline to relocate its check-in counters from Terminal 1 to Terminal 2. The departure process in T2 ran smoothly on its first day of operation, with 36 flights departing from around 0800. Relocation of the other 14 airlines’ check-in services will continue in batches until 10 June.

T2 is served by a full suite of public transport options: Airport Express, airport buses and taxis. Car Park 3, providing over 1,000 spaces, is seamlessly connected to T2.   

A wide range of retail shops and a food court have also opened at T2, offering diverse dining and shopping options. Four dining outlets in the food court and a convenience store will operate around the clock.

Airport Authority Hong Kong (AAHK), Chief Executive Officer Vivian Cheung said: “Positioned to serve leisure travel and mainly regional short-haul flights, T2 is seamlessly connected to and complements T1, which mainly focuses on long-haul and transfer/ transit services. Together, the two terminals strengthen HKIA’s capacity to meet growing passenger demand while enhancing passenger experience.”

Passengers departing from T2 complete check-in and bag drop using new smart self-service counters before proceeding to the centre of the departures hall and entering the restricted area through security gates embedded with facial recognition technology. They then undergo security screening at the smart security screening channels and complete immigration clearance procedures before taking the Automated People Mover (APM) to T1 for boarding.

In the next phase, T2 passengers will be using the boarding gates in the new T2 Concourse (T2C) for both departures and arrivals. T2C is expected to start operation before the end of next year, in line with traffic demand.

Fifteen airlines relocated their check-in services to T2 on Wednesday, 27 May 2026, when T2’s departure facilities were activated.

AAHK Chairman Fred Lam remarked at the event: “The opening of T2 is another milestone of HKIA’s development. Positioned as a terminal for leisure travel, T2’s design prioritises efficiency and passenger comfort. We attend to every detail, leveraging technology extensively to enable efficient self-check-in, self-bag drop and smooth immigration clearance. We believe T2 would be popular among passengers, in particular young travellers.”

Spanning 300,000 sqm, T2 is designed to serve both departing and arriving passengers. On 27 May, the departure facilities will be commissioned, with the arrival facilities expected to commence operations next year, in line with traffic demand. 

The departures hall of T2 features eight check-in aisles, P to W, with 68 express self-bag-drop counters, 58 smart check-in kiosks, and 108 hybrid check-in counters. All self-bag-drop counters and hybrid counters feature an ultra-low platform design, allowing passengers to place their bags on the conveyor belt with ease. The 20 e-Security Gates at the entrances to the restricted area are all embedded with facial recognition technology. In tandem with T2 opening on 27 May, the minimum age for using facial recognition at e-Security Gates will be lowered from 11 to 7 in both Terminal 1 and T2.

Inside the restricted area, all 15 smart security screening channels at T2 allow passengers to keep their laptops and bottled liquids under 100ml in their carry-on luggage while undergoing screening. The Immigration Department has set up 35 e-Channels and 60 counters for departing passengers.

Large LED displays of different shapes and sizes are installed at different levels of T2, with 3D contents and ocean-themed videos creating a vibrant atmosphere. The food court at the departures hall serves passengers with eight catering outlets, four of which operate around the clock. At the same time, 12 shops offer a variety of products, including travel necessities and souvenirs.

The opening ceremony at T2 was held alongside the HKIA Reception 2026, where AAHK and 40 business partners, including airlines, cargo terminals, and ground handling agents, showcased their latest developments and innovations across various experience zones and booths. After the opening ceremony and reception on 23 and 24 May, the experience zones and booths will be transformed into the HKIA Expo & Career Fair 2026, featuring more than 4,400 job vacancies at the airport.
