Aug 10, 2010 (newstodate): Cargo is performing well for Ukraine International Airlines.
In June 2010, the carrier transported a total of 779 tonnes of cargo, an increase by 20 percent, y-o-y.
During the last two years the carrier has increased its aircraft fleet to 19, taking delivery of four Boeing 737-800 passenger aircraft boosting cargo capacity to four tonnes per flight.
Ukraine International Airlines also operates one Boeing 757SF-300 freighter between Kiev, Vienna and Liege with 18 tonnes of capacity and is working to add a second all-cargo aircraft to its fleet.
-Based on our performance in the first six months of the year, we are very optimistic for the rest of 2010, says Peter Kukharchuk, UIA Director, Cargo & Mail.
-We have an extremely strong network in Europe, supported by our global GSA partner European Cargo Services, ECS, that is served by regular freighter and lower deck cargo capacity, and one of our main objectives is to continually promote our growing network to freight forwarders.
-Over the next 12 months we plan to develop our freighter services and UIA Cargo's main hub at Kiev Borispol Airport, says Mr Kuharchuk.
