Hong Kong Air Cargo Terminals (Hactl) has been appointed as cargo ground handler for Virgin Australia’s new services from Melbourne to Hong Kong.
Under the agreement, Hactl will provide terminal handling and all documentation.
The five times a week flights began on July 5, using Airbus A330-200 aircraft with a 14 tonne bellyhold capacity. Cargo sales on these Virgin Australia flights will be marketed by Virgin Atlantic Cargo, which also sells space on Virgin Australia’s existing long-haul services from Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne to Los Angeles.
Hactl has handled cargo on Virgin Atlantic’s daily flights between Hong Kong and London Heathrow since the operation began in 1994.
