Hong Kong Carrier Expands Cargo Capacity with New Airbus Freighter
Cathay Group has announced the addition of an Airbus A330P2F converted freighter to its Air Hong Kong fleet, set to join operations in the fourth quarter of 2026. The new aircraft will primarily serve routes to the Chinese Mainland and other regional destinations, providing additional capacity for Cathay Cargo. This move comes after Cathay Cargo placed a firm order for two additional Airbus A350F freighters last month. The Cathay Group has committed significant investments in its fleet and digital systems, with orders for over 100 aircraft as part of a broader fleet renewal and expansion program. This announcement was first reported by AeroTime.
