The inbound aircraft traverses the Hong Kong-Manila-Cebu route and vice versa which arrived Manila and Cebu at dawn, allowing urgent delivery of parcels to their recipients.

The A300 aircraft, which is co-owned by Air Hong Kong Limited and Cathay Pacific, carries a maximum of 54 tons of cargo.

Eight A300-600 freighters were bought by DHL from Air Hong Kong and leased back to the carrier as part of their 15-year carriage agreement — a move to support DHL’s rapid growth in the Asia Pacific region.
