From Hong Kong, the 747-8F will fly on to Luxembourg with the first cargo on board.
The aircraft is being deployed on the Luxembourg / Huntsville route as well as other routes. Panalpina launched the Luxembourg / Huntsville route, also known as the “Dixie Jet”, as the very first own controlled service in 1990.
