Air Astana chooses Hactl
Air Astana, the national airline of the Republic of Kazakhstan, has appointed Hong Kong Air Cargo Terminals (Hactl) as the cargo ground handler for its newly-launched flights to Hong Kong.

The airline launched the first and only non-stop scheduled flight services to Central Asia from Hong Kong on August 28, serving Hong Kong and Almaty, and initially operating twice-weekly on Tuesday and Friday, using a B757 aircraft.
