Cathay Pacific Cargo

So now, from your interactions with the market and speaking with clients and operators, how do you see the market having accepted and perceived the aircraft so far compared with the 777 perhaps?

I think, again, that the key point here is, you know, when you look at the operator base of some of those A350, you know, the airlines or cargo operators that have ordered the A350F, people like Cathay Pacific Cargo, Atlas Air, for example, Silkway West, just to give a bit of a cross section in terms of geographical split.

You know, these operators by default have had no option really, but to operate Boeing aircraft.

So between them, they've long since operated 747, in the case of Cathay Pacific, 200 freighters, converted 400 freighters, factory 400 freighters, and the 8F, in the case of Silkway West, 400 Fs, and the 8F.

Cathay Cargo expands its operations from Navi Mumbai.

Cathay Cargo has transferred its Mumbai freighter operations to the new Navi Mumbai International Airport, where it began operating on 21 September.

The airline maintains three weekly cargo flights using B747 aircraft, connecting western India with Hong Kong and, from there, with its international network.

Navi Mumbai is progressively developing its cargo operations and aims to complement the airport capacity serving one of India's largest economic areas.
