CMA CGM has unveiled a decision to create a specialised air freight division, CMA CGM Air Cargo.
The move into air freight is said to strengthen the group’s transport and logistics business.
To support its expansion, the CMA CGM Group is buying four 60-tonne-payload Airbus A330-200F freighter aircraft, which came into service between 2014 and 2016. With a range of 4,000 nautical miles, they will connect Europe with the rest of the world. The CMA CGM Group will entrust the operation of its freighter fleet to a European airline.
CMA CGM said:“This expansion into air freight is a new milestone in the group’s strategic development, with the aim of providing group customers with a complementary range of services covering both shipping and logistics.”
