In 2024, the air connection between Hong Kong and Taipei consolidated its position as the busiest international route, according to the annual report by the consultancy OAG. With more than 6.78 million seats on offer, this route regained its leading position, surpassing other key connections worldwide.

This link, which takes approximately 105 minutes, had occupied the top spot in 2019 and, after dropping to third place in 2023, retook the top spot in 2024. In the previous year, the Singapore-Kuala Lumpur route topped the list with 4.9 million seats, highlighting the significant increase in demand on the Hong Kong-Taipei connection over the past year.

In second place, the Cairo-Jeddah route recorded nearly 5.5 million seats, evidencing a notable rise from the 14th position it held in 2019. Rounding out the top spots were connections between Seoul and the Japanese cities of Tokyo Narita and Osaka Kansai, reflecting the strength of air traffic in the Asia-Pacific region.
