Senator International starts Germany to South Carolina freighter service

GERMANY-based logistics operator Senator International has commenced a new cargo route that will serve the US South Carolina hub of Greenville Spartanburg (GSP) with flights out of Munich and Frankfurt-Hahn airports in Germany. The service will be operated by a Boeing 747-400 freighter.

The service, branded 'Atlantic Bridge', will use an Air Atlanta Icelandic freighter, with Globe Air Cargo in charge of marketing the cargo space, reported London's Air Cargo News. 



The logistics operator said in a statement posted on its website: "We are pleased that this product is being well accepted in the market which has been reflected by the amount of bookings we have received thus far."



Welcoming the freighter call, Frankfurt-Hahn Airport management said: "The aircraft will be furthermore marketed for ad-hoc charter flights, which offers potential for further freight orders from the Rhein-Main area."



The airport's senior vice president cargo, Roger Scheifele, said: "Many companies of the automobile industry are located in the area around south and north Carolina, they will be using this service. Another weekly direct connection is set up between Munich Airport and the US.



"For the remaining time--exactly three days a week--the Boeing 747-400F will remain stationed at Hahn and be marketed exclusively by the charter broker Chapman Freeborn."
