SINGAPORE—HAECO has entered a new agreement with MSC Air Cargo to provide the air freight company line maintenance at Hong Kong airport.

MSC Air operates 6X weekly flights out of Hong Kong; 4X weekly to Milan, and one weekly flight to Liege and Chicago. The carrier tells Aviation Week it carries a range of commodities, including perishables, fashion items and automotive shipments to Hong Kong.

Known as a major shipping line, MSC created the air cargo unit in 2022 to complement its shipping business, and now flies five Boeing 777-200LRFs.

In Asia, MSC Air also flies to Erzhou, and Xiamen in China, Tokyo-Narita and Singapore.

“By leveraging HAECO’s industry-leading capabilities and expansive line services footprint both in Hong Kong and the Chinese Mainland, we look forward to becoming a trusted partner to MSC Air as they continue to expand their competitive cargo solutions,” HAECO Chief Commercial Officer Gerald Steinhoff said.

HAECO also has an MRO presence in Xiamen.
