Atlas Air will fly weekly from Maastricht to Asia (including China) on behalf of MSC Air Cargo. The first flight, operated with a 1-year-old Boeing 777 from MSC Air Cargo, landed tonight from Almaty (Kazakhstan) at 21:45 at Maastricht Aachen Airport.
Atlas Air has been operating cargo and passenger flights for over 30 years, often on behalf of and on charter for its customers. With a fleet of over 100 aircraft, the American airline is one of the largest cargo airlines in the world.
Atlas Air operates the flights to Asia on behalf of MSC. With e-commerce and general cargo on board. Dean Boljuncic, Head of Commercial Development of Maastricht Aachen Airport: 'With every new route we improve the connectivity of our airport, region and the Netherlands. Our team is fully prepared to introduce Atlas Air and MSC Air Cargo to the excellent handling for which we are known. Our people are continuously trained to load and unload our customers' cargo carefully and quickly. We provide these training courses ourselves and in this case also in collaboration with Atlas Air Cargo. So that we can continue this collaboration in the long term and perhaps even expand it.'
