Summary · why it matters

Air Hong Kong, a freighter subsidiary of Cathay Pacific Airways, has signed a lease with Ohio-based Air Transport Services Group for an Airbus A330 passenger-converted cargo jet, bringing its all-A330 fleet to 15 aircraft. The parent company announced the transaction on Thursday, saying Air Hong Kong will preliminarily use the new medium widebody aircraft to serve mainland China and other regional destinations on behalf of leading customer DHL Express. The A330 freighter will join Air Hong Kong's fleet in the fourth quarter. The deal is noteworthy for ATSG because it is only the third A330-300 the company has paid to convert to cargo configuration and placed with a customer.
