SAT Airlines starts Seoul flight under contract with DHL

Posted by | Mar 20, 2007 | |

SAT Airlines has started to carry out cargo charter flights from Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk to Seoul under a contract with DHL Express, SAT Airlines Commercial Director Sergei Burdinsky told Interfax.

“A contract to charter our An-24 liner was signed with DHL Express in February 2007 for one year. In the future, if neither of the sides object, the contract will be extended. The plane will fly to Incheon airport three times a week: on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday to South Korea and on Monday, Wednesday and Friday – back to Sakhalin,” he said.

A trial flight took place on March 7 and this week the plan started flying on schedule.

Burdinsky said that a SAT Airlines An-12 has been carrying out charter flights to Seoul for three years already, under a contract with Panalpina as part of the Sakhalin-2 project.

A source in the DHL Express office in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk told Interfax that the flight to Seoul on the An-24 is the first DHL Express charter flight in the Russian Far East. “We chartered the SAT Airlines liner together with Sakhalin Energy, but freight will be transported to Seoul not only for the Sakhalin-2 project, but for other offshore projects also, and for any other clients,” the source said.
