Singapore Airlines Cargo launches Brussels - U.S. Flights

Travel News Asia Latest Travel News Friday, 16 November 2007

Singapore and Belgium recently concluded a landmark revision to the Air Services Agreement for cargo services. This agreement, which includes Seventh Freedom Traffic Rights, allows Singapore Airlines Cargo to operate flights between third countries without originating from, or returning to, Singapore.

With this revised agreement, Singapore Airlines Cargo has launched Boeing 747-400 freighter services, operating once weekly between Brussels and Chicago, and twice weekly circular routings from Brussels to Chicago to Los Angeles and back to Brussels. 

This is the first time a Singapore carrier is utilizing Seventh Freedom Traffic Rights.

“These new Seventh Freedom traffic rights will enable Singapore Airlines Cargo to more effectively serve the Europe-USA freight market. Specifically, we can now operate more frequencies between these markets without having to increase frequencies between Singapore and Europe” said Mr Goh Choon Phong, President SIA Cargo.

“The adoption of these new liberal agreements is good for the air freight industry, because it allows carriers to match supply of capacity to markets where the demand for exports exists. Airlines can thus be more responsive to the market needs. Moreover, this enables airlines to utilize aircraft resources more efficiently.”
