Hong Kong Air Cargo Terminals Limited broke three records at its SuperTerminal 1 facility in the first week of November 2017.

Having handled 31,280 tonnes of exports, Hactl beat its previous weekly record of 30,593 tonnes, set in November 2016.

Overall, Hactl handled a total of 42,471 tonnes of cargo through the terminal, beating its previous weekly best of 41,926 tonnes, also set in November last year.

On November 5, Hactl handled 102 freighters, one more than the previous daily record set on November 23, 2016.

“2016 was a year of records for Hactl, largely fuelled by the boom in Q4 resulting from the collapse of Hanjin,” said Mark Whitehead, chief executive of Hactl. “We have had no such extraordinary event to boost volumes in 2017, yet our 100 client carriers are all performing strongly and helping us to set new records. Our work on developing e-commerce export traffic via Hong Kong is clearly playing a part in the overall picture, and we are delighted to be able to contribute to our airline customers’ continuing success.”
