Cathay Pacific Airways to launch scheduled freighter service to Chengdu

The new service will operate from Chengdu to Shanghai before returning to the Cathay Pacific hub in Hong Kong.

The airline said it currently operates 16 scheduled freighter flights to Shanghai each week. “The flights to Chengdu will enable the airline to grow its presence in the west of the country as it grows in importance as a high-end manufacturing centre,” said Cathay Pacific Airways.

The new scheduled freighter service to Chengdu will be launched on 12 October with flights every Wednesday and Friday.
