Cathay Pacific Airways will begin twice-weekly Boeing 747-8 freighter service from Hong Kong to Calgary starting Oct. 17.
The services will follow a Hong Kong-Anchorage-New York JFK-Calgary-Hong Kong routing, with a stop in Columbus added once a week.
“We are pleased that Cathay Pacific Cargo has selected Calgary to be its newest Canadian partner,” Stephan Poirier, Calgary Airport Authority’s senior vice president and chief commercial officer, said in a statement. “We’ve invested extensively in Calgary’s cargo infrastructure over the last 15 years, strategically positioning the airport for airlines such as Cathay Pacific to enter into Calgary’s market, completing our vision of linking Alberta’s businesses to Asia.”
