AirTran closes cargo service, MAXjet opens

Planned new security measures in the US are said to be part of the reason US low-cost carrier (LCC) AirTran has announced it will stop carrying belly freight effective December 1. Other LCC airlines are reportedly considering their positions. "You can't be a marginal player any more," said Airforwarders Association executive director Brandon Fried.   Meanwhile, MAXjet Airways has launched MAXjet Cargo offering 15,000 kilos of freight on each Boeing 767-200ER all-business-class aircraft between London Stansted and New York, Las Vegas and Los Angeles. With a maximum 102 seats on each flight, MAXjet says it can offer ‘highly competitive’ freight rates.   Air Cargo Asia Pacific
