Cathay Pacific will offer freighter flights between Hong Kong and Mexico

Service will begin in the last quarter of this year.

Cathay Pacific Airways said the freighter flights will make it the first and only airline operating this service linking Hong Kong and Mexico.

Cathay Pacific COO Ivan Chu said this is the first such freighter service between Hong Kong and Mexico and is a very important step in bringing these two economies closer together.

“With growing demand for direct cargo services between Asia and Mexico, our new freighter service will help to establish a very important trade lane between the two regions,” he said.

“At the same time it will help to further strengthen Hong Kong’s position as one of the world’s busiest international airfreight gateways.”

Cathay Pacific will operate the new freighter service to Guadalajara twice a week using it’s Boeing 747-8F.
