DRAGON Airlines Ltd, a unit of Hong Kong's Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd, is closing a freighter base in Manchester in England and focusing its cargo business on Asia.
The carrier will also park a cargo plane and retire the last of its older generation freighters at the end of January, a spokesman said in an e-mailed reply to Bloomberg News yesterday. Crew affected by the closure of the Manchester base have been offered the chance to relocate to Hong Kong.
