May 07, 2010 (newstodate): In the cargo business only since March 2010, the Danish charter carrier and ACMI provider, Jet Time has seen a positive response to its introduction of a Boeing 737-300QC in the fleet.
-We are primarily focusing on passenger charter and ACMI operations, but with our sixth aircraft, the quick-change Boeing 737 aircraft we have added new capabilities and access to new market segments, says Steen Elmer Jensen, Jet Time Sales Manager, Special Charters ACMI & Cargo.
-Shortly after its arrival at Jet Time, the new aircraft was chartered by a broker for operations between the UK and Spain, carrying shipments for the automotive industry, and has also been performing cargo flights between Spain and the Canary Islands on behalf of Iberia substituting for an aircraft during maintenance.
-As we are new to the air cargo market we rely on brokers primarily to perform cargo operations. Over time we will probably develop own relationships with the airfreight industry including freight forwarders, allowing us to extend our own customer portfolio.
-Cargo operations remain a secondary business for us so far, and as all our aircraft are busy with passenger flights during the season the capacity available for cargo flights will be limited.
-But there is indeed a capacity, and the QC version allows us to change from passenger to cargo operations within only 30 minutes. So we are keen to utilize it to the full, says Mr Jensen.
