ADDIS ABABA / GLASGOW / HONG KONG — Ethiopian Airlines has launched three new weekly cargo flights connecting Glasgow Prestwick Airport and Hong Kong, marking a strategic expansion that strengthens trade flows across Europe, Asia, and Africa.
The newly inaugurated freighter service, operating three times a week, establishes a direct logistics bridge between one of the UK’s fastest-growing cargo hubs and Asia’s leading freight gateway.
A Strategic Trade Corridor
The addition of the Prestwick–Hong Kong route positions Ethiopian Airlines at the center of a rapidly evolving global supply chain corridor. By linking Scotland’s export ecosystem with Asian manufacturing and distribution hubs, the airline is reinforcing its role as a key connector between continents.
Glasgow Prestwick has recently emerged as a major regional cargo hub, driven by investments in e-commerce logistics, cold-chain infrastructure, and 24/7 operations. The airport has seen triple-digit growth in cargo volumes and increasing integration into global freight networks.
