Cathay Pacific dedicates a new cargo facility in Hong Kong and places its first Boeing 747-800F freighter into service

Cathay Pacific Airways (Hong Kong) on November 17, 2011 staged a special ceremony to mark the completion of the civil construction of the new Cathay Pacific Cargo Terminal at Hong Kong International Airport. The event was hosted by the airline’s Chief Executive, John Slosar, with The Honorable Donald Tsang, Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, as guest of honor.

The airline used the event to unveil its latest aircraft, a new Boeing 747-867F Freighter registered as B-LJA (msn 39238). B-LJA is also painted in a unique livery and carrying a special name, “Hong Kong Trader”, in recognition of the city’s position as one of the world’s most important trading hubs.

Cathay Pacific Cargo is acquiring 10 Boeing 747-800Fs and eight Boeing 777-200Fs.

B-LJA is pictured at Paine Field near Everett prior to the official hand over on November 15, 2011. The first flight was 10 days earlier.
