Hong Kong Air Cargo Terminals Limited (Hactl) has been appointed to handle CMA CGM Air Cargo’s new Hong Kong services, which began in early September.

CMA CGM Air Cargo is the cargo airline of the CMA CGM Group, while Hactl is Hong Kong’s largest independent air cargo handler.

CMA CGM Air Cargo has added five scheduled flights per week from Paris Charles de Gaulle airport to Hong Kong, joining its existing services to the US. The new Hong Kong services are being operated with new Boeing 777F aircraft.

Under the new partnership, Hactl will provide a total cargo solution to CMA CGM Air Cargo, including terminal and ramp handling, as well as documentation services. Capacity on the flights is being marketed by CMA CGM Air Cargo, with the support of GSSA ECS Group.

“We are delighted to welcome CMA CGM Air Cargo to our carrier family, and wish them every success with this new venture,” said Hactl’s chief executive Wilson Kwong. “We are honoured that they are entrusting their important new service to our care, and look forward to supporting them with comprehensive, efficient and resilient ground handling services.”
