British Airways extends agreement for the transportation of in-flight wines
In addition to renewing the existing contract, British Airways has also called upon Kuehne + Nagel to manage seafreight exports of its cabin service supplies from the UK to a distribution centre in Chicago, IL/USA, and to handle some domestic overland traffic within the UK.
David Hoade, Senior Logistics and Services Manager for British Airways said, "Kuehne + Nagel has developed an in-depth knowledge of the supply chain requirements for our in-flight wine offering and, in particular, has demonstrated an understanding of our specific sea and overland transport challenges. We are confident that the relationship will continue to deliver added value to British Airways.”
“We are committed to providing continuous improvements and ongoing efficiencies in our service to British Airways,” commented Anthony Quinn, Senior Vice-President Sales and Marketing of Kuehne + Nagel’s North West Europe region. “We welcome this excellent opportunity to continue working together and also to reaffirm Kuehne + Nagel’s position as a first choice logistics provider for wines.”
