ABC’s new flights are scheduled to run on Thursdays and Sundays under an ACMI contract with CargoLogicAir using CLA’s Air Operator Certificate and flight numbers. The route will begin at London Stansted and travel via Frankfurt to Libreville and onto Johannesburg, returning to Stansted via Nairobi.
ABC’s customers will benefit from a greater choice of delivery options thanks to the addition of these new destinations, with the same high level of service quality guaranteed across ABC’s global network. The flight timetable facilitates quick and easy connections with ABC’s existing network at its regional European gateway at Frankfurt airport, as well as connections to major markets in Africa for ABC’s customers in North America, the Far East and Southeast Asia.
Commenting on the development, Robert van de Weg, AirBridgeCargo Airlines’ Senior Vice President for Sales and Marketing, said: “The introduction of services to Africa is a big step for our company. For the last couple of years AirBridgeCargo has reached the ‘high-water mark’ of its organic growth model with its focus on its fleet, network expansion and consistently improving the quality of its customer service.
“We are now continuing our development by expanding into other parts of the world, including by means of partnership with other airlines. New points of destination and origin in Africa will provide our customers with direct service via ABC’s stations in Europe, Asia and the US. We are delighted to be working with CargoLogicAir as our ACMI partner to create these new opportunities for our clients,” Robert concluded.
