Henan Civil Aviation Development Investment said to buy Hahn Airport

THE Henan Civil Aviation Development and Investment Co (HNCA) that owns 35 per cent of Cargolux. is reportedly about to buy loss-making Hahn Airport, 115 kilometres north west of Frankfurt.

According to www.cargoforwarder.eu, which quoted "reliable sources, a agreement had been finalised with HNCA on "a double-digit million euro [sale] price" and that the deal will be officially announced in the coming days.



At time of writing, no one at Hahn Airport's operating company was available to comment on the claims.



Cargoforwarder said HNCA had submitted one of two bids received for Hahn, the other coming from HNA Group, owner of cargo airline, Yangtze River Express, which until last year operated regular cargo flights from China to the German gateway.



In April, Hahn Airport, between Frankfurt and Cologne, downplayed reports that Amazon was interested in developing a presence at the airport or even potentially acquiring it, telling Lloyd's Loading List that reports of interest from the logistically ambitious internet retail giant were "all rumours".
