Cathay Cargo signs agreement with Northlink for cargo terminal access
It will serve as a technical stop for its transpacific Boeing 747 freighter and cargo operations.
Cathay Cargo announced an agreement with NorthLink Aviation to use NorthLink’s air-cargo terminal and aircraft stands at Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport starting October 2025.
It will serve as a technical stop for its transpacific Boeing 747 freighter and cargo operations, Cathay said in an announcement.
The deal will also grant Cathay access to cargo terminals with customs clearance for cargo entering the United States, 11 power-through hardstands for aircraft, and four additional push-back hardstands.
Each of the parking stands will offer dual hydrant fueling systems, lighting towers and ground power systems powered by renewable energy.
Due to Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport having periods of intense weather, the stand parking will help minimise disruption and recycle de-icing fluid.
As such, the collecting and recycling of the de-icing fluid will prevent it from entering the important environmental waters of the Cook Inlet.
