Polar Air Cargo awarded additional frequencies to Japan

Atlas Air Worldwide (AAWW) subsidiary Polar Air Cargo Worldwide will expand operations in Japan following the conclusion of recent US-Japan bilateral civil aviation negotiations.

In addition to an existing six weekly frequencies to Tokyo with related service to one destination beyond Japan, Polar has been granted another six frequencies to Japan, excluding Tokyo, with the right to fly to two foreign destinations beyond this new point.

Including the new rights, Polar can now serve a combined total of twelve frequencies in Japan and eighteen frequencies beyond.

Polar will also have the latitude to choose the new destination in Japan, as well as the points outside of the country.

North Asia – particularly Korea, China and Japan – has been a significant area of development for Polar, and these additional frequencies and beyond rights to Japan will enable the carrier to expand its services in the Japanese market and continue building and strengthening its network throughout Asia.
