Its annual capacity of 100,000 tons will be upgraded to process 500,000 tons per year, according to global cargo demand. The new fuel storage tank can store sufficient fuel for 27 B747-400 jumbo freighters. As part of efforts to develop Navoi, Korean Air has been operating cargo flights from Incheon to Milan and Brussels via Navoi Airport seven times a week since 2008. Also, direct cargo flights from Navoi to Deli, Mumbai, Bangkok and Frankfurt have been flying nine times a week since last year. With the new Navoi Cargo Terminal now available, Korean Air will add its cargo routes from Navoi to Istanbul, Dubai, Almaty(Kazakhstan) and Dacca(Bangladesh) this year. Hanjin Group has embarked on a number of projects to make Navoi a logistics hub of Central Asia. Hanjin Transportation has co-established Eurasia Logistics Service with one of the local ground transport companies, and has also strengthened the ground network of Central Asia. Eurasia Logistic Service will cooperate with Korean Air’s cargo terminal and air cargo network, and establish a land transport network in Central Asia. Quelle: eyefortransport |
