First Boeing 757 added to TNT Express air fleet

TNT Express – the world’s leading business to business express delivery company – today announced that it has added a Boeing 757, the company’s first, to its Liège-based air fleet.

The aircraft – which has been wet-leased from Icelandair to TNT Airways – came into service last month. The aircraft’s inaugural flight in TNT livery was between Liège, where TNT Express has its air hub, and Barcelona, and as such was the first leg of its regular round trip, which consists of: Liège – Barcelona – Vitoria – Madrid – Liège.

The Boeing 757 ideally matches TNT’s freight requirements for this service – 30 tonnes – and is a cost-efficient to operate besides being among the quietest aircraft available.

Christian Drenthen, Managing Director Worldwide Networks, TNT Express said: “This aircraft gives TNT Express just the right increase in capacity on a growing route between Spain and our hub at Liège, Belgium. It is in line with our aim to offer customers a faster, more reliable and competitive service.”
