Swiss cross joins birds
Swiss Worldcargo is entering the joint business agreement signed in 2016 which sees its "sisters" Lufthansa Cargo and Cathay Pacific cooperating closely on international lanes via their hubs, while the handling of cargo in Hong Kong is coordinated under one roof at the Cathay Pacific Cargo Terminal. The three partners plan to work closely together on network planning, sales, IT and ground handling.
Initially, the airlines will cooperate on traffic from Hong Kong to Zurich and Frankfurt, with traffic to and from Hong Kong and the rest of Europe to be included later this year.
Cathay Pacific director cargo Tom Owen: "The addition of Swiss Worldcargo’s flights will bring the world’s busiest air cargo hub even closer to Europe and strengthen one of the world’s great trade lanes." (ah)
