new freighter start up Air Hong Kong
For your information, AHK Air Hong Kong was formed in 1986 and commenced freight charter ops in 1988 with a 707F. An extensive scheduled operation continued with their first 747F in 1991. The company was eventually bought out by Cathay Pacific and their three 747 freighters integrated with Cathay Cargo which took over long haul operations. DHL has aquired 30% of Air Hong Kong forming a regional Asian operation with a fleet of 6 Airbus A300-600 aircraft with delivery expected towards the latter part of 2004 and early 2005. Presently AHK operate a wet lease A300-600 HKG/SIN and one B747 HKG/KIX.
