American looks to fresh produce, high-end goods to fill HK-LA flights
AMERICAN Airlines has launched a daily nonstop service using a Boeing 777-300 aircraft that can carry 40 LD3 containers filled with high-value fresh produce.
The airline said that Los Angeles would offer Hong Kong customers direct access to fresh goods and produce, while the US and connecting markets will benefit from access to high-demand commodities in Asia, such as mechanical parts, garments and electronics.
"American continues to build a great network in Asia and the Pacific," said Keijiro Ishii, American's Asian cargo sales chief, reported London's Air Cargo News.
"Recently, we also started service to Tokyo-Haneda and Auckland. Demand for our cargo services is strong, not just to our hubs in the US, but throughout our unrivalled network in Latin America."
In Hong Kong, American will continue to be represented by Antares International as the GSA and Hong Kong Air Cargo Terminals Limited (HACTL) as the handler.
