In total, SAS Group operates some 270 flights a week ex Germany, including its Spanair and Blue 1 operations. Flights operate from Munich, Stuttgart, Frankfurt, Tegel, Dusseldorf and Hamburg airport using wide-body Airbus passenger and cargo aircraft plus narrow-body Airbus and Boeing jets.
Globe, part of the ECS Group which already acts as SAS Cargo's GSA partner in Switzerland and Spain, forecasts it will generate up to 6,500 tons of cargo a year from Germany. ''
Export shipments from Germany besides general cargo are expected to include live animals, perishables, AOG parts and express goods.
Heiner Sass, Managing Director of Globe Air Cargo, said: 'ECS has a proven track record with SAS Cargo and we have a strong reputation for our GSA services in Germany. This is an important new contract for us given SAS Cargo's excellent flight network via its cargo hub in Copenhagen to Europe, North America and Asia.'
