Bismillah Airlines has appointed Hong Kong Air Cargo Terminals to handle its newly-launched, twice-weekly B747F services from Dhaka.
These flights actually represent the airline’s first scheduled service to Hong Kong. Hactl will provide a one-stop-shop service, including ramp handling, cargo terminal operations, crew transportation and air cargo documentation. The flights will be marketed in Hong Kong by general sales agent Smart-Trans.
Inbound cargo to Hong Kong is likely to include fruit, seafood, marine products and textiles, for which Bangladesh is well known. The country is also developing its manufacturing industries, and the new scheduled freighter services operated by Bismillah Airlines will provide an important trade link with the entire Asian region, by utilising the widespread network of air cargo destinations accessible via Hactl’s other airline customers.
