Cathay Fresh | Perishable Logistics

Cathay Cargo and the Cathay Cargo Terminal were the first airline and cargo terminal to be awarded the IATA CEIV Fresh certification, the globally-recognised standard that assures the quality of our perishable goods. Our staff are trained to treat each type of perishable goods according to shipment requirement and customer instructions.

In addition to our highly trained staff, we offer speedy tarmac transfers and cold-room warehouse handling. We also offer bookable cool dollies at our home hub of Hong Kong International Airport for additional cold-chain protection from ambient temperatures during transfers.

Our home hub of Hong Kong is only 5 hours by flight away from 50% of the world’s population. Our  teams will ensure the quickest routes and connections for your perishable goods, while achieving a very high flown as booked ratio. Not only that, but with our intermodal links into the Chinese Mainland’s Greater Bay Area, we are connected to some of the biggest Chinese cities by air and refrigerated cross-border trucks. Beyond our wide network, which covers South East Asia, South West Pacific, Europe and the Americas, we have trusted interline partners to maximise our reach for Perishable Logistics to producers and markets in Latin and South America.

Our teams are experts at offering the fastest and most optimised connections on our extensive network. Book a higher tier with Cathay Priority to ensure even speedier delivery.

Our industry leading Ultra Track technology is a tracker which is placed on to the shipment and features enhanced visibility into ambient conditions surrounding shipment. On top of that, we have a dedicated Operations Control Centre which monitors these trackers 24/7 and proactively intervenes if a measured metric is at risk of being breached.
