Hong Kong Air Cargo Terminals Limited (Hactl) has renewed its standard ground handling agreement with air cargo alliance SkyTeam Cargo, according to a company statement.

Under the agreement, SkyTeam Cargo member carriers, including Air France Cargo, Alitalia Cargo, KLM Cargo, Korean Air Cargo and Northwest Airlines Cargo jointly renewed their appointment of Hactl as the cargo terminal operator at Hong Kong International Airport.

Air France Cargo and Korean Air Cargo both continue to use Hactl to provide them with air cargo documentation handling services on top of physical cargo handling.

Alitalia Cargo continues to commission Hactl as its one-stop shop provider in providing ramp service, complementing documentation handling and physical cargo movement.

Hactl's business partnership with the five SkyTeam Cargo member carriers started since they commenced Hong Kong operations, well before the alliance was incepted in 2000.

Said Hactl customer service chief Lilian Chan: "Hactl has been providing world-class cargo services that exceed the expectation of the alliance, and our consistently high level of service has been the basis of SkyTeam's choice of Hactl. We are confident that Hactl will continue to support the business growth of SkyTeam Cargo in Hong Kong by providing more personalised and flexible cargo solutions, leverage on their global network for mutual growth."

Apart from the five SkyTeam Cargo member carriers, Hactl currently provides cargo-handling services for over 80 international airlines at its headquarters at SuperTerminal 1, Hong Kong International Airport.
