TNT Express celebrates 60 years of successful delivery 1946 – 2006

Posted by | Apr 24, 2006 | |

TNT Express today announced the 60th anniversary of the company’s first operations, which began in Australia in 1946. Delivering 3.5 million parcels, documents and pieces of freight every week to over 200 countries across the world, TNT Express reported profits of 474 million euros in 2005. When the company was first established with a single truck in Australia at the end of the Second World War, TNT Express made a profit of eight dollars per week during the first few months of trading, hauling timber, glass bottles, cement and soil. “Evolving from a small Australian enterprise into a globally recognised brand which employs 48,000 people across the world is a great achievement. With the on-going development of new customer-focused services and additional air and road routes that offer unlimited capacity, we are confident that TNT Express will maintain its success over the next 60 years,” said Marie-Christine Lombard, Group Managing Director, TNT Express.

TNT Express launches new air route to Czech Republic

Posted by | Apr 10, 2006 | |

TNT Express today announced that it has launched a new air route between its European air hub in Liège, Belgium, and Brno airport in the Czech Republic. The new route – which operates a 10 tonne capacity Bae146 aircraft every week day from Liège to Brno via Prague on both outbound and return journeys – provides significantly improved access to the east of the Czech Republic and, for the first time, enables guaranteed delivery before 9am and 12am to and from anywhere in Europe. “The additional air route to Brno airport will substantially improve our access to the eastern side of the Czech Republic and reduce our reliance on the D1 highway, which suffers from heavy congestion. TNT Express is the only transport company to operate a daily air service to and from the region, which provides the company with a distinct advantage over competitors,” said Christian Drenthen, Managing Director, Worldwide Networks, TNT Express.
