Cathay acts to fill 747-8F gap

Hong Kong based Cathay Pacific says delivery delays to Boeing's 747-8 Freighter may cause a "small reduction" in cargo capacity in May to July next year. The airline contractually is due to place freighters in its venture with Air China and says any resulting temporary capacity shortfall will be managed by adjusting maintenance schedules and increasing aircraft utilisation rates.
