Cathay Pacific adds cargo capacity, gears up for peak season

Cathay Pacific Cargo has added cargo capacity and has been in close talks with suppliers as it prepares for what is expected to be a muted peak season. The Hong Kong-based airline said it has been adding extra passenger flights, cargo-only capacity and has ramped-up freighter operations ahead of the peak. Frosti Lau, GM, Cargo Service Delivery, said, “We have already increased frequency to the US, and we are now operating daily to London Heathrow. “Our freighters are operating a full schedule, supported by cargo-only passenger operations focused on regional destinations. This extra capacity will help us as we prepare for a busy peak, although we are anticipating it may not be as pronounced as last year,” he added.
