Multimodal specialist Hoptrans Logistics, a cargo handling agent operating at Lithuania's Kaunas airport, has launched a freighter charter service to Shanghai, China.
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) says global international cargo traffic in August grew 19.6 per cent year on year, but was just three per cent above the pre-recession levels of early 2008.
Nearly half of Third Party Logistics (3PL) providers failed to meet their revenue growth targets in 2009, according to a recent survey that also says more than 90 per cent have now signed performance-based contracts with their clients.
The largest-ever European class action claim for damages resulting from airfreight cartel behaviour is to be launched this week, with more than 300 claimants from 11 EU countries believed to be involved.
US Homeland Security secretary Janet Napolitano says it's too early to lift a ban on liquids on board flights, despite international officials saying it could come as early as 2012.
Africa's Ethiopian Airlines is to become the third carrier from the region - after South African Airways and Egyptair - to join the Star Alliance airline network.
