Cathay Pacific Cargo and Emirates SkyCargo will expand services to Rickenbacker airport on the back of recent growth by adding additional weekly freighter frequencies to their existing schedules in October.
Cathay Pacific, which began scheduled international service between Rickenbacker and Hong Kong in 2014, will add a fourth weekly frequency to the Columbus airport beginning October 13.
This new Tuesday frequency is currently slated as a seasonal addition through the end of the year.
Meanwhile, Emirates SkyCargo, which began offering scheduled import service from Dubai four months ago, is adding a second frequency to its schedule beginning October 3.
Emirates plans to continue operating the new Saturday flight, which compliments their initial Wednesday frequency, even after peak season.
Cathay Pacific cargo manager Midwest US Bridget Bell said: “With peak season approaching, this additional frequency will help to meet the increasing demand for our services.
