Bindaree Beef will participate in Cathay Pacific’s test flight from Wellcamp Airport in regional Queensland to China. The trial run is intended to gauge whether regular fresh produce flights from regional Australia to Asia are commercially viable. Bindaree currently ships chilled beef to Asia via Sydney Airport, but flights from Toowoomba would allow for next-day delivery of its cargoes to Asian destinations.

Cathay Pacific mainly uses the Airbus A330 to service the Sydney-to-Hong Kong route, but it will increase capacity by switching to larger Boeing aircraft for two of the daily flights from October 2015. The Hong Kong-based carrier cannot add additional flights on Australian routes at present. Cathay’s Nelson Chin notes that the recent fall in the value of the Australian dollar has had little impact on the travel intentions of Australian consumers

The Jetstar Airlines budget carrier off-shoot of Australian group Qantas Airways in March 2012 formed a joint venture with China Eastern Airlines and the Shun Tak group. However, regulatory hurdles and lobbying by rival Cathay Pacific Airways have so far prevented the Jetstar Hong Kong business from operating. Insiders now say the local authorities will not assess the application until March 2015. The partners have sold a further three Airbus A320 aircraft due to the delay

The Australian Government insists on reciprocity in traffic rights for airlines of Australia and Hong Kong. Cathay Pacific argues that Qantas Airways’ Jetstar Hong Kong will not comply with Hong Kong’s Basic Law, because the new budget carrier business of the Australian airline will be effectively controlled from Australia. Mike Mrdak, the secretary of the Australian Department of Infrastructure & Regional Development, commented on the matter in mid-August 2014. He said Cathay Pacific and other Hong Kong carriers will not be given increased traffic rights into Australia unless Australian carriers are given the same rights in Hong Kong
