First Boeing 757 added to TNT Express air fleet

Posted by | Aug 22, 2005 | |

TNT Express 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.”

Polish Post (Poczta Polska) will soon have to face new competitors. It’s possible our letters will be delivered by yellow-clad Deutsche Post mailmen or La Poste employees is navy blue. Today, we have no choice. If we want to send a letter or a postcard, we have to do so through Polish Post. Until the end of 2008, it has a guaranteed monopoly on light weight parcels (up to 50 grams). Before we send the parcel, it is worth taking a look at the calendar.
