Swiss WorldCargo opens Cancun station for exports

Swiss WorldCargo has opened its Cancun (CUN) station for exports with all flights between Zurich and Cancun now carrying freight on both inbound and outbound journeys.

Swiss WorldCargo, the freight division of Swiss International Air Lines, connects Cancun and Zurich with a thrice-weekly Airbus A340-300 service, operated by Edelweiss, sister company of Swiss International Air Lines. The aircraft will offer a payload in excess of 15 tonnes on each leg of the flight.

In Cancun, Skylog, a member of the ECS Group, will manage all commercial activity for this new service, while Swissport will oversee ground operations.

Hendrik Falk, head of Cargo for USA West, South, and Latin America, said: “We are delighted to open our Cancun station to exports.

“With this new development, we will create additional export options for numerous customers shipping a wide variety of products from the Yucatan Peninsula to Switzerland, Europe and the rest of the world. Having a strong foothold in the Latin American market remains a critical focus point for us.”
