Panalpina introduces new airfreight service to Latin America
Panalpina, together with its partner Centurion Air Cargo, has launched a new service – Palmair – linking its worldwide network with Latin America via the Miami, Florida gateway.
Panalpina will offer a direct transhipment concept for destinations in Latin America.
Miami serves as both Centurion Air Cargo’s base as well as Panalpina’s gateway to Latin America for freight originating from Europe, Asia and North America.
With the new concept, the two companies establish a link between the Latin American connections of Centurion and Panalpina’s European Road Feeder Network with its hub in Luxembourg.
Centurion has subcontracted the first leg to Luxembourg-based Cargolux – also one of Panalpina’s major business partners. This set-up gives Panalpina total control of the entire cargo flow from origin to destination.
The main destinations served through the new service are Bogota, Medellin, Barranquilla (all in Columbia), Caracas (Venezuela), Lima (Peru) and Manaus (Brazil), amongst others.
