Hactl handled 2.63 million tons of air cargo in 2007, representing over 70% of air cargo throughput at Hong Kong International Airport. Its US$1 billion SuperTerminal 1, opened in 1998 at Hong Kong International Airport at Chek Lap Kok, is the largest single air cargo terminal in the world with a potential capacity to handle 3.5 million tons per annum. In total, the company serves more than 90 airlines and 1,000 freight forwarders.
Hactl says it acknowledges Cargo 2000 as an industry-recognized management tool for measuring quality and efficiency. It also sees advantages from Cargo 2000 working closely with IATA's e-freight program, which is aimed at bringing in a new paperless era for the entire air cargo industry.

By working with Cargo 2000, we hope to benefit from streamlined processes and a more transparent working environment in the future, further facilitating the movement of cargo within SuperTerminal 1 and a more efficient and effective cargo solution for our airline customers and business partners.'
