Aug 04, 2011 (newstodate): The weekly Jade Air Cargo service from Shanghai to Lithuania's Kaunas Airport is doing well, even during the comparatively slack summer months.
-While the aircraft is normally fully booked, we have of course seen volumes slightly down in June while July has seen some recovery. But even so the performance is absolutely satisfactory, says Dalia Ciutaite, UAB Hoptrans Logistics General Manager.
-The drop has actually been limited, but on the other hand this is also due to an increased flexibility on our side as to rates during this period, marked with a generally soft market in Chinese exports and excessive uplift capacity, says Ms Ciutaite.
Since June 18, 2011, Lufthansa Cargo has been operating the Boeing 747-400 freighter from Kaunas Airport to Frankfurt, extending to Bombay, India.
-This is a significant step that consolidates our incoming flight operations, and we are actually in talks with Lufthansa Cargo and other parties as to cooperation on this service as well, says Ms Ciutaite.
