Cathay Pacific to launch Dallas and Atlanta freighter service

Cathay Pacific is set to launch Hong Kong's first direct freighter service to Dallas and Atlanta, providing faster delivery from Hong Kong and the Chinese Mainland to growing markets in the south and southeastern United States.

The three-times-weekly service will commence on 19 November, stopping first in Dallas and continuing onto Atlanta. The new route means that Cathay Pacific will be able to reach any part of the continental US within a day's trucking from its gateway cities. The two new destinations will also bring new opportunities to connect with transhipments from South and Central America. 

The new service will take the total number of destinations on Cathay Pacific's freighter network to 26. The airline's freighters already serve Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, New York and Vancouver in Canada. With the new service, Cathay Pacific will operate 21 cargo flights a week to North America.
