Cathay Pacific combined airfreight volume increases 2.3pc in January
CATHAY Pacific and Dragonair carried a total of 151,133 tonnes of cargo and mail in December, an increase of 2.3 per cent compared to the same month last year.
The cargo and mail load factor rose by 0.3 percentage points to 61.9 per cent, while capacity, measured in available cargo/mail tonne kilometres, increased by 0.5 per cent. Cargo and mail revenue tonne kilometres (RTKs) increased by one per cent.
Cathay Pacific general manager Cargo Sales & Marketing, Mark Sutch, said: "We got off to a solid start in 2017. Tonnage grew ahead of capacity and showed an increase over the same month last year. We saw a good rebound in demand from Hong Kong, Mainland China and various key Asian markets.
"Yield was sustained through a better mix of priority and special shipments. There was also robust demand for fresh produce and seafood across the network. We operated a number of extra-sector freighters to the Americas, Europe and India in January, while cutting back on capacity in February to adapt to Chinese New Year's January start."
