Cathay Cargo said it has leased one Airbus A330P2F converted freighter from Air Hong Kong. The aircraft will be used by Air Hong Kong primarily to operate freighter services to the Chinese Mainland and other regional destinations for Cathay Cargo. Air Hong Kong is the first all-cargo freighter airline based in Hong Kong and a part of the Cathay Group.
Air France-KLM has signed a multi-purpose credit facility for an amount of €1 billion with a syndicate of 12 international banks. The facility, which can be drawn and redeemed at the issuer’s full discretion, has an initial maturity in June 2028 and includes a one-year extension option at the lenders’ discretion, potentially extending the maturity to June 2029. The purpose of the facility is to refinance existing financial instruments including those associated with the group’s M&A activity (subject to applicable closing conditions), which may arise from the second half of 2026.
