VENICE: TNT has come up with another great plan of launching B737-400 freighter service between Venice and its Liege air hub in Belgium.
The five-time weekly service is expected to benefit exporters and importers trading with North-East Italy, who require guaranteed next-day delivery, flexibility and late collections.
TNT Asia, Middle East and Africa (AMEA) regional managing director Michael Drake said: “Manufacturers and retailers are constantly looking for solutions to connect with their suppliers and/or customers.
“With the new air service in Europe, we are able to bring our customers closer to their suppliers/customers, further evidence of TNT’s leadership on this key trade lane.”
The new air connection further strengthens TNT’s service to small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) in Europe’s Blue Banana economic region, the company said.
TNT Express, on a daily basis, delivers approximately one million consignments ranging from documents and parcels to palletised freight and operates road and air transportation networks in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, Asia-Pacific and the Americas.
The air gateway, which is located in the existing TNT Marcon depot, near Venice, ensure smooth connections between air and road operations and will operate as a model of intermodal transport hub in a logistically challenging area.
