09 Jul 2009
Dutch freighter specialist Martinair Cargo has put Chennai on its Asia-Pacific route network. Starting 2 July, Martinair is operating a Boeing 747-400 ERF on the Hong Kong–Chennai- Sharjah-Amsterdam route. The new twice-weekly service will be available every Thursday and Saturday, leaving Amsterdam for Hong Kong via Sharjah on Wednesday and Friday.
Chennai is the fourth largest city in India and the capital city of the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, located on the east coast of southern India.
According to senior vice president cargo sales and marketing, Meta Ullings, current market trends have once again begun to look up. By expanding capacity, Martinair Cargo hopes to satisfy multiple market demands - the growing demand for airfreight from China to India and the Middle East, increasing traffic within Asia and limited capacity from America and Europe to the Middle East.
Martinair has appointed Pelican Air Private Limited (PAPL) as its general cargo sales and services agent for India. PAPL will report directly to Martinair's regional office for Middle East and South Asia based in Sharjah, UAE
Martinair has near four decades of experience providing logistical solutions to its customers.
