AirBridgeCargo Airlines has added twice-weekly flights to Los Angeles to its North America freighter operations, connecting the U.S. west coast with its global network. AirBridgeCargo Airlines began operations to the North American market in 2011 and already serves Chicago and Dallas/Fort Worth. Following four years of intensive development, the company has achieved annual volumes across the Atlantic of over 55,000 tons.
“Launching Los Angeles flights is part of our ongoing commitment to develop our presence in the U.S. market and follows strong customer interest in both China and the United States. The Los Angeles service will complement our global network and this will benefit customers that have relied on our services for more than 10 years now. Thanks to the highly valued support of our clients, ABC has become one of the world’s fastest growing international cargo airlines with an average growth rate of 11% over the last five years,” said Robert van de Weg, ABC’s Senior Vice President, Sales & Marketing. “The United States represents one of the main strategic markets in the company’s further development. Since the company’s U.S. launch, AirBridgeCargo has successfully opened sales offices in every major gateway in the country, including Chicago, Dallas, Houston and New York. In 2014, ABC increased its weekly Boeing 747 freighter services through Chicago to seven frequencies per week and opened a second route to Dallas/Fort Worth. With the start of our summer 2015 schedule, we have increased this number to nine and thus provided our customers with even more delivery solutions to Europe, Russia and beyond. We are confident that our expectations for the development of the west coast market will be fully realized and that our team’s hard work, together with our customers’ support, will prove to be a great success for us both,” said Hendrik Falk, ABC’s Vice President North and South America.
