Singapore Airlines Cargo adds South America to its freighter network
Singapore Airlines Cargo has launched its first scheduled freighter service to South
America, to Sao Paulo in Brazil.
The once weekly Boeing 747-400 freighter service from Singapore Changi Airport
to Sao Paulo’s Viracopos-Campinas Airport was launched yesterday, operating via
Hong Kong and Dallas Fort Worth. The return trip to Singapore operates via Dallas
Fort Worth, Brussels and Sharjah.
This new freighter service complements the cargo capacity available on Singapore
Airlines’ thrice-weekly passenger flights between Singapore and Sao Paulo’s
Guarulhos International Airport, via Barcelona.
“This new freighter service demonstrates our confidence in the growth potential of
the Brazilian market, and extends our network coverage to over 70 cities in more
than 30 countries,” said Mr Tan Tiow Kor, SIA Cargo’s Senior Vice President Sales
and Marketing.
He added: “Brazil is one of the world’s fastest growing economies and its major
imports include machinery, electrical and transport equipment, chemicals, cotton,
automotive parts and accessories. Its principal exports include transport and
transmission equipment, heavy machinery, generators, transformers, footwear
and food products. Our services provide convenient links between Brazil and
major global markets.”
