British carrier CargoLogicAir has added Tel Aviv to its network of scheduled freighter operations.

The airline will launch a weekly flight from its London Stansted base to Tel Aviv via Frankfurt starting from November 10, 2017. The flight, which will be operated by a Boeing 747-400F, will depart Frankfurt on Friday evening and return on Saturday morning. The outbound service will switch from Frankfurt Airport to Frankfurt-Hahn Airport in December 2017.

“Our customers have indicated a high level of demand for a 747 freighter service connecting the heart of Europe and Tel Aviv and we are able to meet their requirements with a route that also gives direct connectivity into our growing global network,” said Dmitry Grishin, CEO of CargoLogicAir. “We expect to carry a diverse range of cargoes on this route, including regular shipments of pharmaceuticals, hi-tech products, aerospace components and perishables.”

CLA has appointed Rom Top Aviation as its general sales agency partner in Tel Aviv.

CLA launched its first scheduled cargo route in August 2017, with a twice-weekly 747-400F flight from London Stansted to Mexico City via Atlanta, incorporating stops in Houston, Frankfurt and Abu Dhabi. The airline also launched a weekly route connecting London with Frankfurt, Dubai and Hong Kong in October 2017.
