Hong Kong cargo carrier commits to aircraft
Air Hong Kong, a regional parcel express airline owned by Cathay Pacific and DHL Worldwide Express, said it will exercise options to buy two more Airbus 300-600 new freighters.
The additional aircraft, scheduled for delivery in mid-2006, will increase to eight the number of mid-size widebody Airbus planes owned by the only all-cargo airline in Hong Kong.
Air Hong Kong serves Bangkok; Penang, South Korea; Singapore; Taipei; and Narita, Kansai and Incheon, Japan.
DHL owns 40 percent of the joint venture and is the airline’s primary customer.
