From Aug. 14 to Aug. 27, 2008, Macau International Airport had successfully handled ten charter freighter services from Macau to Angola.

This is the first time for Macau International Airport to realize the full freighter services from Macau to a Portuguese language country in Africa.

This charter freighter operation was carried out by Jett8 Airlines Cargo and approximately 900 tonnes of cargo had been safely shipped to Angola by 10 Boeing 747-200F freighter flights.

In order to handle this charter services effectively, all entities of Macau International Airport had fully cooperated with each other to work out the best scheme to streamline the logistics of the operation.
