The agreement was signed at the air cargo China trade fair in Shanghai and builds on a decade-long partnership between the SkyTeam Cargo members.
Through the agreement, China Cargo Airlines will have access to bellyhold capacity on Air France flights from Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport to São Paulo Guarulhos Airport.
It builds on a collaboration between Air France KLM and China Eastern Group, which began with an interline agreement and evolved into joint handling operations at Shanghai Pudong International Airport.
Adriaan den Heijer, Executive Vice President of Air France KLM Cargo, says, “By capitalising on our extensive networks, we can provide even greater benefits to our customers. I look forward to the synergies we can generate together.”
Wang Jianmin, President of China Cargo Airlines, says, "This step with Air France KLM Martinair Cargo is a significant move towards expanding our aviation network and enhancing our air logistics market. Together, we will provide safe and efficient services to global customers."
