Dec 19, 2011 (newstodate): The Danish ACMI and charter carrier Jet Time is to strengthen its focus on airfreight operations.
Operating one Boeing 737-300QC freighter since March 2010, Jet Time is to take delivery of a second freighter within a few weeks, and the carrier is now also seeking applicants for a new position as Jet Time Air Cargo manager.
-So far the responsibility for airfreight business has been combined with ACMI sales, but we are now determined to boost this business by dedicating one executive to the airfreight industry sales alone, says Klaus Ren, Jet Time CEO.
-We might have opted for a GSA solution, but we will rather have one person within the company who is well acquainted with the airfreight business, the people in the cargo networks and airlines with a focus on air cargo. At the same time we will of course also maintain and strengthen ties with our existing customer portfolio among airfreight brokers and institutional clients like relief organizations.
-We are keen to demonstrate that we are determined to become a trustworthy player in the air cargo industry. To us, cargo is not just a welcome addition to operations during slack passenger seasons. We are to dig a niche in this industry, and if customers require us to provide capacity, we will face up to this all year round and will also add more QC aircraft as warranted by the market, says Mr Ren.
The Boeing 737-300QC to be delivered to Jet Time is formerly operated by TNT and is being readied for delivery at the integrator's base at Brussels.
Besides the Boeing 737-300QC aircraft, Jet Time is also operating seven Boeing 737-300 passenger aircraft and two Boeing 737-700NG aircraft, with a third Boeing 737-700NG aircraft to be added early in 2012.
