Kalitta Air in co-operation with Wallace Air Cargo Group/Inter Aviation Services (IAS) and HAE Group will launch a twice weekly B747-400F scheduled New York-Amsterdam-New York service from March 9.
HAE and IAS said "our extensive market research has shown that there is a strong demand for scheduled main-deck B747 freighter services linking the prime commercial hubs of New York and Amsterdam, both eastbound and westbound. Our primary focus will be on heavy/outsize cargo suitable for the main deck such as oil and gas equipment, aircraft engines, project cargo, automotive components and similar types of freight - and we will also be looking at some of the more specialist cargo such as the movement of horses.
Eastbound sales, marketing and reservations will be handled by HAE Group through their network of offices across the US, while westbound freight sales will continue to be handled by IAS in the Benelux and the existing network of GSAs across Europe.
