Turkish Airlines chief cargo officer Turhan Özen says the carrier has ambitious plans for its freighter fleet as well as its passenger planes, and the total fleet could increase from around 429 today to more than 800 in 10 years’ time.
Dubai-based Emirates, which aims to double its freight capacity in the next 10 years, could take a few years to decide between rival Boeing 777-8Fs and Airbus 350Fs, its cargo chief Nabil Sultan says.
Germany's Lufthansa Cargo now is offering customers three speeds - its fastest, td.Zoom, then td.Pro and td.Flash.
In the USA, FedEx Express is allowing its 'excess' pilots to apply for captain positions with PSA, a regional passenger airline that's wholly owned by American Airlines, for the ‘foreseeable future’.
Operating income for Lufthansa's cargo division was almost non-existent during a weak third quarter and the company says full-year segment earnings also will be poor.
The second largest cargo hub in the Netherlands, Maastricht Aachen Airport, has appointed Dean Boljuncic (pictured right) to head its newly- launched sales department.
As head of commercial development, Boljuncic will drive the sustainable growth of the regional airport, with a focus on strategic partnerships.
He previously was head of aviation development and partnerships at Eindhoven Airport.
