Hong Kong Air Cargo Terminals has been appointed to handle a new weekly B747-8F service for SW Italia.

The new flight – which routes from Hong Kong to Prague – is for the exclusive use of Sto Express, one of the major Chinese express operators. The aircraft is operating in Sto Express livery, and it is thought to be the first regular freighter operation to Europe for any Chinese express carrier.
A VIP reception was held at Hactl’s SuperTerminal 1 facility, to welcome the incoming aircraft. Guests were then invited to inspect the aircraft before it was loaded for the inaugural outbound flight.
