The MRA opens up new possibilities to use the active Opticooler as a reliable and capable supply chain solution for pharmaceutical shipments to and from Asia. Therefore, DoKaSch and JAL meet the country’s growing needs for vaccine and pharmaceutical transportation in a safe and reliable way. Further details of the partnership and specific codeshare routes will be announced when finalized and will be subject to regulatory approvals and final documentation. The services will be carried out according to world-class standards in the hangars of Aerotechnics Industries (ATI). ATI capitalizes on the unique expertise accumulated by its parent companies over more than thirty years in the operation and maintenance of the A320 family. The airline also plans to open new direct services to other major Indian cities by the year-end. To further enhance the customer experience, the carriers will also establish reciprocal frequent flyer benefits and reciprocal lounge access for qualifying customers. Formed in 2013, the business has grown to become one of the premier global aircraft leasing companies, building a high-quality portfolio of young new technology aircraft placed on long leases to airlines globally. Hans Georg Schiebel, Chairman of the Schiebel Group, said: “This operation is delivered as part of our ongoing service contracts with EMSA. It is great to witness that ever more European maritime authorities are making use of the exceptional capabilities of the S-100. Especially in the maritime domain, the CAMCOPTER S-100 is demonstrating its solid level of performance and experience.” YVR is investing in its cargo operations to ensure it can continue to meet growing demand while identifying new solutions that will increase efficiencies with trucking and transportation, especially during peak hours. Volotea awards AFI KLM MRO deal: Volotea, the airline connecting mid-sized European cities, will send its A320 aircraft to Air France Industries KLM Engineering & Maintenance for a comprehensive airframe service, mainly to be carried out during the winter seasons. Kale Info Solutions partners with Vancouver International: Kale Info Solutions, the US subsidiary of Kale Logistics Solutions, is to implement its Airport Cargo Community System (ACCS) at Vancouver International Airport (YVR), Canada, to support growing cargo throughput. The stock, which was shipped from Bii’s London warehouse at the end of April, is on lease to EAC with all future repairs being managed by Bii. Also, it is the very first “made in France” cargo conversion programme for a widebody aircraft, and Vallair is proud to spearhead this efficient, industry-leading process as part of its re-industrialisation of aviation in the region.” Vallair’s E Class solution means that loading is not done on pallets or containers but uses a conveyor that fits inside the cargo hold to efficiently load and distribute individual parcels instead.
