Tracking notes

Cathay Cargo and Air Hong Kong are different issuers

Air Hong Kong is a Cathay subsidiary, but its listed waybill prefix is 288 rather than Cathay Cargo's 160. A flight operated within the group does not change the issuing prefix printed on the master air waybill.

See Air Hong Kong (288)

A Hong Kong transfer is not a final delivery

Cathay describes Hong Kong as a transhipment hub with a dedicated cargo terminal. If your 160 waybill shows an HKG arrival, inspect the subsequent events and onward flight before treating that arrival as the end of the shipment.

About Cathay Cargo

Cathay Cargo uses Hong Kong as both a long-haul gateway and a transfer point for shipments moving across its network. Its dedicated cargo terminal and airline operation can both appear in the handling history, so a Hong Kong event need not be the final milestone.
