Air France-KLM starts new sorting system for parcel delivery
AIR France-KLM has opened a combination-carrier-operated sorting system capable of handling package-level freight in a bid to keep pace with the rapid increase in post and express consignments.
Executive vice president of KLM Cargo, Marcel de Nooijer, was quoted as saying in a report by New York's Air Cargo World: "The system is faster and smarter, allowing us to offer better service to our customers," adding that "e-commerce is a fast-growing branch in the cargo industry."
The package facility also dovetails with 12Send, a new intra-Europe same-day delivery service launched in cooperation with Netherlands-based Parcel International. The service is part of an effort by Air France-KLM to utilise more of its bellyhold capacity, especially on its European network.
An initial pilot programme for same-day service was launched on KLM routes between Amsterdam and Barcelona in October.
