Cathay to launch bi-weekly cargo service from Bangalore

New Delhi: Expanding its cargo services in India, Cathay Pacific will begin its bi-weekly operations from Bangalore next month.
Bangalore will be the fourth city — after Delhi, Mumbai and Chennai — from where the Hong Kong-based airline will operate its twice-a-week flight with Boeing 747-400F aircraft on the Hong Kong-Delhi-Bangalore-Hong Kong sector.
“India is an increasingly important market for our cargo business. We are pleased to be able to extend our services in the country through the launch of a freighter service to Bangalore. This new service will enhance Cathay’s presence in India,” Mr Nick Rhodes, Director of Cathay Pacific said in a statement.
The airline expects its service to attract shipments of computers, computer components, high value electronic goods, integrated circuits, semi-conductors and garments from China and neighbouring countries.
