Hong Kong Airport-based Asia Airfreight Terminal (AAT) has become the primary cargo handler for Thai Lion Air’s daily flights from Bangkok to Hong Kong and Indonesia AirAsia’s daily flights from Bali to Hong Kong.
SATS subsidiary AAT said Indonesia AirAsia, based at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Jakarta, marked the successful launch of its inaugural flight from Bali to Hong Kong on October 1.
And on the same day, Thai Lion Air, operating from Don Mueang International Airport in Bangkok, also commenced its inaugural service on the Bangkok to Hong Kong route.
AAT’s chief executive Mike Chew said: “We warmly welcome Indonesia AirAsia and Thai Lion Air to join the AAT family. The addition of these new routes not only strengthens our regional connectivity but also enhances the trade and tourism ties between Hong Kong and the bustling cities of Bali and Bangkok.
“With our unwavering focus on operational and service excellence, we are committed to contributing to the business growth of the airlines in Hong Kong.”
Last month, AAT was selected as the preferred cargo handler for Fly Khiva Group in Hong Kong.
AAT is equipped with special cargo handling facilities, including AAT COOLPORT (Cold Chain Handling Centre for Perishables & Pharmaceuticals) and rooms for verticals including dangerous, live animals and radioactive shipments.
In April, the air cargo terminal introduced Autonomous Electric Tractors (AET) to its operations.
