Cathay Pacific wants to "dry lease" four Boeing 747 freighters – meaning just the aircraft without crew – to Air Hong Kong, replacing an existing arrangement whereby Cathay Pacific pilots fly the Cathay 747s on Air Hong Kong services and use an Air Hong Kong call sign (known as a "wet lease"). Cathay Pacific owns 60 per cent of the airline, which handles DHL express deliveries, while DHL holds the remaining 40 %.
These four aircraft B-HOU, B-HOZ , B-HUR and B-HUS will be painted in full DHL colors, and not AHK colors. Only the engines will remain in CX grey/blue.
