Swiss International Air Lines Ltd. has announced the replacement of the leased all business-class Boeing 737 with wide bodied aircrafts on the Zurich-Newark route. Swiss WorldCargo, the cargo division of Swiss International Air Lines Ltd. is mandated to market the cargo capacity of this route. Effective 31 March 2012, a daily service will be operated with A340-300 equipment, effectively adding cargo capacity to and from the region, in which SWISS already serves New York JFK.
Newark Liberty International Airport is an important cargo gateway in the greater New York area, well situated to serve the entire east coast of the United States with Swiss WorldCargo's finely meshed Road Feeder Service network already in place; from Newark, destinations like Philadelphia and Washington can be reached more easily.
Pharmaceutical goods are expected to be a key commodity on the route. Located in the heart of New Jersey and its vibrant industrial sector, Newark is in fact the perfect entry point to one of the major manufacturing areas for pharmaceuticals worldwide - with 15 of the industries' leading companies present here. |
