Air France-KLM Martinair Cargo (AFKLMP Cargo) has celebrated the inaugural flight of its freighter service from Amsterdam Schiphol Airport (AMS) to Hong Kong (HKG), landing at Hong Kong International Airport on 20th September.
This arrival marks our return to HKG for freighter operation after a nine-year absence, representing a significant milestone in the carrier’s operations.
The service will initially operate thrice weekly, increasing to four weekly flights from the start of AFKLMP’s winter schedule on 27 October 2024. The flights to Hong Kong will depart Amsterdam on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.
The return flights depart Hong Kong on Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday. This new service will provide an impressive capacity of 110 tonnes per flight, facilitating seamless cargo movement across key international hubs and offering a wide range of onward connections to the Americas and Africa via our Amsterdam Schiphol hub.
The occasion was commemorated with a ceremony attended by a diverse delegation, including customers, airport authorities, ground handling agent representatives, and colleagues, who all gathered to celebrate this momentous event.
“We are proud to provide increased capacity and flexibility for cargo movement across these key hubs, facilitating the seamless transport of up to 110 tonnes of cargo per flight,” AFKLMP declared.
