Toowoomba/Hong Kong connection attracting interest from Queensland producers

Cathay Pacific says its weekly freight flight, connecting Toowoomba's Wellcamp Airport, west of Brisbane, with Hong Kong, is back on track after several disruptions over Christmas and the Lunar New Year.

It has been a slow start for the service, which launched with great fanfare late last year from Australia's newest airport.

But cargo manager Nigel Chynoweth is confident that interest from the agricultural sector will expand.

While Toowoomba is the gateway to an extensive agribusiness region, the new Wellcamp freight service has attracted interest from primary producers all over Queensland and northern New South Wales.

"We haven't had as many horticulture people yet but I think that's coming."
