BUDAPEST Airport's Cargo City and Kuehne+Nagel have launched a new charter cargo route between budapest and Hong Kong, reports London's Loadstar.
The service will supply vast air cargo prospects to developing high-technology, automotive, and supplementary relevant cargo industries in the catchment area of the airport.
'As a cargo-friendly airport, the development of air cargo connectivity is a key element of our success. Regular full freighter operators, belly cargo service providers, integrators, and road feeder operators have always had a key role and high importance on this, and now as a latest trend, forwarding companies have started their own long-haul widebody cargo charter operations to Budapest in the last two years,' said Budapest Airport chief development officer Rene Droese.
'We warmly welcome Kuehne+Nagel to this 'club' and wish lots of success to its own HKG-BUD freighter operation going forward.'
Said Kuehne+Nagel Hungary head of air logistics Laszlo Szabo: 'This is a memorable milestone for us since customer-centricity is at the core of our business. This scheduled flight offers 110 tonnes of capacity for wide range of products including lithium batteries, and serves different industries every week.'
Said Budapest Airport head of cargo Jozsef Kossuth: 'Despite the ever-changing challenges in global supply chain and the logistics market, the airport's cargo community sees excellent development potential linked to Budapest, which is also powered by long-term positive effects. One such example is the booming e-vehicle industry in the capital city catchment zone; the extensive recent investment into e-vehicles, car parts, and battery production in Hungary, will have a progressive effect on Budapest's air cargo growth.'
