CATHAY PACIFIC CARGO Cathay Pacific Cargo From its origins as a small regional freight operator established in 1946, Cathay Pacific Airways has grown to become one of the world’s leading international air cargo carriers. Cathay Pacific’s cargo business currently accounts for around 21% of its annual revenues, and has helped to build Hong Kong into the world’s busiest air cargo hub. All of Cathay Pacific’s cargo operations are grouped under its Cathay Pacific Cargo unit. Cathay Pacific’s Cargo Fleet Cathay Pacific Cargo currently has a fleet of 25 Boeing 747 freighters, namely six 747400Fs, one 747-400BCF (Boeing Converted Freighter), six 747-400ERFs (Extended Range Freighter) and 13 747-8 freighters. One more Boeing 747-8F will be delivered in 2016. Cathay Pacific Cargo also utilises cargo space on Cathay Pacific’s 118 passenger aircraft. The cargo unit carries more than 120,000 tonnes of cargo per month, more than half of which is uplifted on passenger flights.

From 1 January 2011, the airline switched to 100% electronic air waybills (e-AWB) in the Hong Kong market and will complete the full rollout of e-AWB to all Cathay Pacific and Dragonair ports by the end of 2014. Cathay Pacific Cargo Terminal The new Cathay Pacific Cargo Terminal at Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) commenced operations on 21 February 2013. The HK$5.9 billion facility is one of the biggest and most sophisticated terminals in the world, providing additional air cargo handling capacity and facilities that will help to further reinforce Hong Kong’s position as the world’s premier international airfreight hub. The airline’s wholly owned subsidiary, Cathay Pacific Services Ltd (CPSL), was awarded a franchise to invest in, design, construct and operate the new air cargo terminal at HKIA under a 20-year agreement. The new terminal has been designed for an annual air cargo throughput capacity of 2.6 million tones and will be a common-use facility open to all airline customers.

Air Hong Kong now serves Bangkok, Penang, Singapore, Taipei, Narita, Kansai, Nagoya, Seoul, Shanghai, Beijing, Manila and Ho Chi Minh City. Air Hong Kong was the launch customer of a fleet of eight Airbus A300-600F General Freighters which entered into service between September 2004 and July 2006. In May 2011 AHK received a capacity boost by dry leasing three Boeing 747-400 Boeing Converted Freighter aircraft which more than doubled capacity on three of the carrier’s busiest routes - Singapore, Narita and Shanghai. DHL Express is the major customer of AHK and the bulk of the cargo is express parcels. The remaining cargo is general freight.
