UKRAINE International Airlines (UIA) has contracted ECS Globe Air Cargo India as its general sales and service agent (GSSA) as it makes it first moves in the Indian cargo market.
ECS Globe Air Cargo India expects to handle 2,000 tonnes of cargo per year for the airline, mainly in pharmaceuticals, leather goods, chemicals and machinery, reported New York's Air Cargo World.
UIA has been working with ECS's Indian branch since May 1, when the airline launched three direct flights per week between Kiev Boryspil Airport (KBP) and Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL) on its 767-300 aircraft. A fourth frequency will be added in June.
'The flights from Delhi are scheduled so as to provide nonstop service and convenient connections with the UIA flights to the cities of Ukraine and Europe at Kiev Boryspil International Airport,' said UIA cargo chief Peter Kukharchuk.
