ECS Group’s America Cargo GSA is now promoting cargo capacity on TAP Air Portugal’s Orlando-Lisbon service, due to launch on 29 October. The Airbus A330 departs on Monday, Thursday and Saturday evening, offering 45-60 tons of weekly cargo uplift and will be significantly faster than existing alternatives, it says.
ECS Group chief executive, Jean Ceccaldi, added: “TAP Air Portugal is making history this winter by becoming the first airline ever to offer a direct connection between Orlando, home to leading American aerospace, tech and industrial manufacturers, and Lisbon, a well-situated, less crowded gateway into Europe and an excellent bridge to South America. TAP’s new service shaves hours off existing two-leg connections and is a highly attractive alternative, particularly for shippers of high-value, time-sensitive goods such as aerospace parts, electronics, medical technology and industrial machinery, alongside other specialized exports such as seafood and vegetables.”
TAP Cargo head of sales North America Rúben da Silva Jorge said that market feedback has been extremely encouraging.
