According to ABC, it is now the largest all-cargo carrier at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol and the second-largest at Frankfurt Airport.

 

“After the national carriers, we are now the largest cargo-carrying airline in both Amsterdam and Frankfurt, which makes us proud,” said Robert van de Weg, senior vice president of sales and marketing. “Exceeding 1,000 flights in a year at both airports not only shows our commitment to both countries, it is demonstrates the level of support we are gaining from customers. We have operated more Boeing 747 freighter services from AMS and FRA in 2016 because of the level of demand and this growth in our volume is a reflection of our customers’ confidence in our service levels. We wish to thank all of our customers and our local teams at both airports for helping us to reach these significant milestones at two of Europe’s most important cargo gateways. We expect further growth in 2017.”

 

AirBridgeCargo operates a fleet of one 737-400F, two 747-400Fs, five 747-400ERFs and nine 747-8Fs.
