Major operation of chapman freeborn at airport Linz
Charter specialist chapman freeborn airmarketing operates air freight shuttle between Monastir and Linz
The current situation in Tunisia brings additional business to the airport Linz on the short term in the form of an air freight shuttle. Under the direction of the worldwide active charter specialist chapman freeborn airmarketing regular freighter flights between the Tunisian harbour city Monastir and Upper Austria’s capital Linz are carried out since last Tuesday. Two wide-body carriers of the Iljuschin IL-76 TD-90VD type of the Russian airline Volga-Dnepr are daily landing at the blue danube airport linz. They mainly transport accessories for the European automotive industry. The air freight chain will probably be maintained until the middle of the next week. From Linz the consignments are shipped with smaller freight aircrafts of the Antonov 12 type or by truck to Central Europe. „Accessories for the automotive industry are normally transported by ferry and trucks between Tunisia and the European continent. As ferry traffic in Tunisia is still impaired, producers have to rely on alternative transport modes, in order to keep delivery deadlines. The freight flights organised by chapman freeborn airmarketing goods flow unhampered, until the situation in Tunisia has improved“, explains Gerhard Kunesch, director of the airport Linz. “chapman freeborn airmarketing has already handled several projects with us. We are glad they selected Linz as destination airport in this case as well. The operative challenge for our cargo department is to handle two wide-body aircrafts at a time adhering to a very strict schedule“, states Anton Gierlinger, head of the cargo department at airport Linz.
