In June this year, Cathay Pacific, one of the world's leading airlines, launched flights between Munich and Hong Kong. The renowned Asian carrier connects these economic hubs four times a week, using a modern, fuel-efficient Airbus A350-900. Michael Spiegel, Area Cargo Manager Germany, Israel, Switzerland, Scandinavia & Eastern Europe at Cathay Cargo, shares insights on how cargo operations are benefiting from this new connection.
Cathay Pacific has started regular operations in Munich for the first time. How is your experience and how do you see the Munich cargo catchment area to fill up the bellies?
Michael Spiegel: "The introduction of our regular A350 passenger operations in Munich is indeed a significant and exciting development. From my perspective, the Munich cargo catchment area is well-positioned to capitalize on this opportunity. The region's robust infrastructure, coupled with a strong network of logistics partners, ensures that we can fill the bellies of our flights efficiently. Our strategic location in Southern Germany and the high demand for cargo services further bolster our capability to support Cathay Cargo’s operations in Europe."
