APR 04, 2003 (newstodate): In its regular update on the Iraq war ans SARS consequences for the logistics business, Panalpina says it has secured one additional Boeing 747 freighter as a contingency measure in case the overall situation in the Far East will lead to a shorfall of capacity.
-The measures introduced due to SARS might not only affect passenger travelling but also the movement of cargoes. Panalpina, in cooperation with its global capacity management company ASB-Air, has therefore prepared a contingency plan in case these measures should have an effect on cargo movements, Panalpina says.
-More and more airlines cancel passenger flights into and out of Hong Kong. So far mainly intra-Asian passenger flights have been cancelled. But we will be prepared once the airlines will thin out their intercontinental passenger frequencies to/from Hong Kong.
-We have been informed that Lufthansa and British Airways will cancel frequencies on their passenger section. So far the crisis has not affected our network as such and the cargo flows are still routed within the normal system, says Panalpina.
