Feb, 14, 2021 Posted by Ruth HollardWeek 202106
The CMA CGM Group announced that it is intensifying its strategic development in logistics, creating a division specialized in air transport called CMA CGM Air Cargo.
According to the company, “this air transport reinforces the Group’s transport and logistics area and allows it to offer customers a new range of comprehensive, agile, and personalized solutions”.
To this end, the CMA CGM Group is acquiring four Airbus A330-200F aircraft with 60 tons of payload, which entered into service between 2014 and 2016. With a range of 4,000 nautical miles, the aircraft will connect Europe with the rest of the world. The CMA CGM Group will entrust the operation of its cargo fleet to a European airline.
The company said that the expansion to air transport is a new milestone in the Group’s strategic development with the aim of offering customers a complementary offer of services in both maritime transport and logistics.
“In response to the growing demand from our customers for agile logistics solutions, we are creating a new division within the CMA CGM Group dedicated to air cargo transportation, CMA CGM AIR CARGO. This division will debut with four Airbus A330-200F aircraft and will take advantage of commercial partnerships with airlines to offer global coverage. This is an important milestone in the development of our logistics services “, concludes the President and CEO of the CMA CGM Group, Rodolphe Saadé.
