Cathay Pacific Airways has launched a new freighter service to Phnom Penh, Cambodia, commencing 23 November 2014.

The scheduled service will operate twice a week on a Hong Kong-Singapore-Penang-Phnom Penh-Hong Kong routing, offering customers more choices and flexibility when moving goods between Cambodia and other parts of the world.

Cathay Pacific’s director cargo James Woodrow said: “We are delighted to strengthen our already extensive network in Asia by operating scheduled freighter services to Cambodia for the first time. This new service to Phnom Penh will boost the flow of garments and other manufactured products out of Cambodia, taking advantage of our facilities in Hong Kong to connect to our comprehensive cargo network.”

Cathay Pacific currently operates cargo services to 45 freighter destinations around the world, including a new service to Calgary launched last month.
