Swiss WorldCargo adds capacity in India with a "new daily" to New
Delhi
Zurich - Switzerland: Swiss WorldCargo, the air cargo division of
Swiss International Air Lines Ltd., today announced added capacity in
India with the launch of a new daily line flight to Delhi, effective
from 25 November 2007.
With each flight, which will be operated with Airbus A330 aircraft,
Swiss WorldCargo will offer 18 tons of cargo capacity to and from
Delhi, in addition to the 22 tons already available to and from
Mumbai. Departing from Zurich at 12:30, the new flight will arrive in
Delhi at 00:35 on the following day (local time), while the westbound
service will leave Delhi at 02:00 and will arrive in Zurich at
06:25.
"Swiss WorldCargo wholeheartedly welcomes the new destination of
Delhi. India is a strategically important cargo market that has shown
massive and sustained growth over the past few years and promises to
rival the largest markets in the world before long," says Oliver
Evans, Chief Cargo Officer.
India's second largest metropolis after Mumbai, Delhi is one of the
major gateways for air trades to and from South Asia, based on well
established industries such as constructions, power,
telecommunications, IT, health care and community services, but also
on the emerging and fast growing retail and manufacturing sectors.
"To meet the demand of this fiercely competitive market," Evans
emphasizes, "Swiss WorldCargo will use its trademark focus on niche
products and services and industry-leading track record of
flown-as-planned. We expect a real challenge, but we are confident of
success!"
Swiss WorldCargo is the air freight division of Swiss International
Air Lines AG. With a global network of more than 150 destinations in
over 80 countries and a wide range of services offered, Swiss
WorldCargo generates true added value for its customers and makes a
substantial contribution to the earnings power of Swiss International
Air Lines Ltd.
