Air China Cargo launched a scheduled cargo ship service from Guangzhou, China to Glasgow Pretouk Airport (PIK), which represents a big step forward in the UK air connection – Qina. With the operation of three weekly flights now- and plans to expand to seven- the service emphasizes the strategic aspirations of both partners and promised to increase trading between Greater China and Scotland.
“This is truly supporting the capabilities of treating exceptional goods in Brestok,” said Ian Philby, CEO of Glasgow Breistwic Airport. “With the addition of new flights, we are excited to see the capabilities of Scottish exporters.”
Speaking exclusively to Air Cargo Week, the most prominent Nico Le Roux, PIK’s business development manager, the deep operational partnership that supports the new path. “It is a mutual development between the airline and the airport. We have supported Air China charging in securing organizational approval to work in the United Kingdom,” Le Roxy said. “The fact that we can divert a plane within two hours, even with a full load, it was a major factor. For airlines, every minute of concern – you only reap the covers when they are in the air.”
Double the charging sizes overnight
The effects of the new service are great. “This effectively doubles our goods sizes overnight,” he said, Lu Rox for Air Cargo Week. “It is a major operational challenge, and we had to employ strongly to meet the demand.”
For Scotland Exporters, the path provides more than a comfort. This means changing the step in shelf life and reaching the markets. “Products such as salmon and whiskey now have direct access to the Far East without a road from 12 to 18 hours to the southern airports,” Le Ro said. “This means an additional validity period for damage, and the fastest time in the market.”
To support growth, PIK has already invested in new land handling equipment and increased workforce. “We are in a good position in terms of equipment, and while employment was a challenge – especially in an area like West Scotland – we now have the ability to deal with the current demand.” “With the growth of size, we will continue to expand. This is related to a long -term investment in infrastructure and people.”
On the correct path of the uncle-and the daily domain-Frishon
The momentum does not slow down. “The two scandalous operators from the Far East are planning to increase the frequencies,” Lu Ruws revealed. “We expect to move to daily, then double charging daily soon.”
The launch celebrations were held at Transport Logistic in Munich, where the PIK and Air China teams were officially distinguished by the teacher. “He has been very busy since our arrival,” said if he has been very busy since our arrival. ” “This is a good sign, it is busy, and there is a strong interest, and it proves the reason for this event is a must for anyone serious about air cargo.”
With Air China shipments based on the operating and commercial teams in PIK, this step enhances the appearance of Glasgow Prestwick as a viable gateway to East Asian trade, with a mark to develop logistical logistics in the future.
