Cathay Pacific freighter to serve to Dallas and Atlanta

Cathay Pacific Airways will launch a new freighter service to regional logistics centres Dallas and Atlanta in November to help meet the growing demand in the US for exports shipped through Hong Kong, the world’s busiest international air cargo hub, said the airline.

A Boeing 747-400 freighter will operate three times a week starting from November 15, departing Hong Kong every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, stopping first in Dallas and continuing to Atlanta, reports schednet.com.

Cathay Pacific will operate, with the addition of this service, 21 scheduled freighters a week to six US cities and offer cargo services to 52 destinations around the world. The other four US cargo ports in the airline’s network are Chicago, Los Angeles, New York and San Francisco.
