CargoLogicAir adds more HK, Dubai and Atlanta
freighter frequencies as demand grows
David Kerr
LONDON: British all-cargo airline,
CargoLogicAir (CLA), has boosted its
freighter services from the UK with the
launch of additional Boeing 747F
operations to Atlanta, Dubai and
Hong Kong.
CLA's third flight per week to Atlanta,
which returns directly to London
Stansted, is in addition to its existing
747F flights from Stansted to Mexico
City via Hartfield Jackson Atlanta
International Airport, which were
launched last August. Its 2018
summer schedule also includes new
twice-weekly direct services from
Stansted to Dubai, continuing onto
Hong Kong, and two direct Hong
Kong-Stansted frequencies.
The expansion of its all-cargo services to
the U.S. & Mexico will help to meet
growing demand from customers
shipping pharmaceuticals, aerospace
products & automotive components on
these routes. In Hong Kong,
CargoLogicAir has also added muchneeded
main deck cargo capacity for
customers doing business on the UK's
biggest import trade lane, which is being
further strengthened by significant
growth in e-commerce volumes.
All services will also offer quick
connections to Frankfurt and Europe.
“We have a mandate to grow
alongside strong demand from our
customers in the UK and overseas for
all-cargo services to major cargo
markets in the US, the Middle East and
Asia Pacific. Our expansion plans
include further additions to our fleet
and network to satisfy the clear
demand we are seeing for main deck
freighter services from and to the UK,”
said CargoLogicAir CEO David Kerr.
CargoLogicAir was awarded its UK Air
Operator Certificate and commenced
operations at the start of 2016 from
London Stansted Airport. Its all-cargo
fleet currently consists of one latest
generation Boeing 747-8F and two
Boeing 747-400 Freighters
