HONG KONG's Cathay Pacific Airways announced this week's launch of a new twice-weekly freighter service to through Hong Kong, Shanghai to Zhengzhou, the capital and commercial centre of Henan province in Central China.
The latest destination in the Cathay Pacific freighter network will boost the airline's presence as a cargo carrier on the mainland following the launch of services to Chengdu and Chongqing in western China in the second half of 2011.
"We see great business potential in Zhengzhou which is one of the fastest-growing centres for electronics manufacturing in the mainland and is well-connected to a wide catchment area in Henan. Cathay Pacific's new freighter service will offer shippers seamless connections to our extensive global network through the Hong Kong hub, helping to connect Zhengzhou to the world." said Cathay Pacific cargo chief Nick Rhodes.
The Zhengzhou service will be operated by a Boeing 747 freighter and will follow a Hong Kong-Shanghai-Zhengzhou-Hong Kong routing.
"We are confident about the long-term success of Cathay Pacific's cargo business and about Hong Kong's future as an international air cargo hub. That's why, in addition to launching new destinations, we are investing heavily in new freighters and also building our own HK$5.7 billion cargo terminal at Hong Kong International Airport which is on schedule to begin operations in early 2013." he said.
