Nearly a year after forming a cooperation agreement to launch freighter service between Luxembourg and Chennai, India, Oman Air and all-cargo carrier Cargolux are expanding their partnership with twice-weekly service to Mumbai, beginning March 8.
\nUnder the new agreement, the first weekly 747 service, operated by Cargolux, will use a Luxembourg-Bahrain-Mumbai-Muscat-Luxembourg route, leaving on Tuesdays. For the second weekly service, beginning on Fridays, the route will be Luxembourg-Kuwait-Mumbai-Muscat-Luxembourg.
\nWhile Oman Air will be able to receive a consolidated cargo feed from Cargolux\u2019s extensive long-haul network, Cargolux will be able to use Oman\u2019s well-positioned hub in the Middle East and have greater access to the belly capacity of Oman Air\u2019s passenger fleet (pictured), which currently serves 11 destinations in India and more in East Africa.
\nAbdulrahman Al Busaidy, COO of Oman Air, said some of the airfreight carried by the airline will include project cargo, livestock, aircraft-only freight, odd-sized cargo, vehicles and aircraft engines.
\n\u201cWith India\u2019s growing importance as a manufacturing nation, we see a lot of future potential and possibilities for both our companies,\u201d added Niek van der Weide, Cargolux\u2019s executive vice president, sales and marketing.
