Leading B2B carrier TNT Express has announced that it will launch new air linehaul connections between its European Hub in Liège, Belgium and the
Italian cities of Naples and Florence. This expansion brings the number of
airports served by TNT’s European Air Network to 62.
The introduction by TNT Express of a new minimum invoice charge of GBP25 will not affect the vast majority of the company‘s customers, says divisional managing director, Chris Atkinson. TNT Express says it is introducing the charge in the wake of significant increases in operating costs over the past 12 months, particularly in relation to insurance premiums, London congestion charges and the Working Time Directive. Only a small minority of its customer base is likely to be affected by the move since most customers already meet the GBP25 per invoice threshold.
