Hactl reports strong 2014 growth

The cargo handler has seen significant increases over 2013’s numbers.    Hactl, the largest independent cargo handler at Hong Kong International Airport, has seen 10.1-percent, year-over-year, growth in cargo tonnage so far this year.
   Through the first nine months of 2014, Hactl has handled 1,323,250 tons. Imports represent 367,137 tons of the total — an 11.2-percent rise — and exports came in at  748,442 tons — a 7.6-percent rise.
   “Organic growth among our 100 airline clients continues to produce positive results,” Hactl Chief Executive Mark Whitehead said. “There is never certainty in air cargo, with many extraneous factors affecting business, but we are optimistic about volumes for the balance of 2014, and are well prepared for the challenge of 2015 and onward.”
