Hong Kong Air Cargo Terminals Limited (Hactl) launched ramp operations in 1998 when the cargo handling agent moved to the new Chek Lap Kok airport. With operations growing steadily since that time, Hactl beat its own record in November by handling 2,242 full freighters, ten more than its previous monthly record of 2,232, set in November 2014. The company also broke its record for freighters handled in a single day, with a total of 95 on Dec. 2, up from a previous record of 92 on Nov. 19, 2014.
The November total was 308 freighters higher than October, due largely to an increase in pre-Christmas scheduled and charter flights, along with ad hoc project freighter movements.
Services Hactl provides includes loading and unloading freight, towing ULDs, weight and balance, crew transport and administration, cargo document delivery and on-site coordination of ground activities.
