BEIJING, China - Air China and Cathay Pacific Airways announced the completion of their air cargo joint venture at a launch ceremony in Beijing for the new company, Air China Cargo.

Air China will hold 51 percent of the new company’s shares. Cathay Pacific will hold 25 percent of the remaining shares, as well as a 24 percent economic interest in Air China Cargo. Air China Cargo’s Board of Directors has four Air China members and three Cathay Pacific members. After the consolidation, Air China Cargo’s fleet will include 12 B747-400 aircraft.
