CATHAY PACIFIC CARGO to order 500 preighters

Tom Owen, Director, Cathay Pacific Cargo, said, “I am pleased to report that, emerging from what has been a challenging time for the business, we have tried to put as much cargo capacity as we can into the market. It is an exciting time for us as we start to rebuild our overall network and schedule. The biggest news of the month is the resumption of our full freighter schedule. We will be operating between 90 and 100 freighters each week. We are planning to operate 500 cargo-only passenger flights a month around the region. They will provide strong lift over the next few months to feed our reactivated long-haul freighter services.”
